13:30 – 16:00 Workshop Noise & Alienation with Mattin

Noise & Alienation  
During this workshop we will investigate the connection between the mental state of noise understood as the dissolution of selfhood and alienation understood as the objectification of living labour in the valorisation process. Alienation is a modern concept that emerges with the development of the subject/object relationship that takes a specific form in capitalism. Noise as a form of conflict, disturbance and undecipherable signal can help us to understand the porous and unstable concept of the subject in liberalism, one that is increasingly showing its deficiencies. If alienation points at the cut between living and dead labour, noise points out at the negative reminders occurring in the process of alienation. By pitting these two concepts directly, we will try to articulate a theoretical practice of the negative as a prerequisite for a collective investigation of freedom and unfreedom.

Biographies  

Mattin
Mattin is an artist, musician and theorist working conceptually with noise and improvisation. Through his practice he explores performative forms of estrangement as a way to deal with structural alienation and to interrogate our self-conception and sense of freedom under capitalist relations. In 2017 he completed a PhD at the University of the Basque Country under the supervision of the philosopher Ray Brassier. Along with Anthony Iles edited the book Noise & Capitalism (Kritika/Arteleku 2009) and currently they are in the final stages of editing the volume What is To Be Done Under Real Subsumption? forthcoming in Archive Books/Mute. In 2012 CAC Brétigny and Tuamaturgia published Unconsitituted Praxis, a book collecting his writing plus interviews and reviews from performances. Both books are available online. Urbanomic will publish this year his book Social Dissonance. Mattin is also part of the bands Billy Bao and Regler and currently he is co-hosting with Miguel Prado the podcast Social Discipline. Mattin took part in 2017 in documenta14 in Athens and Kassel.
