Inhaltsangabe

How do atmospheres emerge? This book explores the dynamic entanglements between humans, environments, and nonhuman forces.

Contingent Agencies is a cross-disciplinary artistic research project initiated by Alex Arteaga and Nikolaus Gansterer that investigates how atmospheres arise from the interplay between human and nonhuman agencies. Drawing from phenomenology, enactivism, and new materialism, the book engages readers in a richly layered process of notation, reflection, showing, and sharing.

Through experimental artistic practices across various media, Contingent Agencies opens new pathways for understanding spatial, embodied, and affective relations. The publication invites not only reflection but also active participation in an expanded, open-ended research community.

What the book offers:

  • Innovative models of artistic research grounded in philosophy and embodied practice
  • Exploration of human and nonhuman interrelations in the formation of atmospheres
  • An open framework that encourages communal inquiry and interdisciplinary engagement

A vital contribution to current debates on artistic research, material agency, and situated knowledge. A must-read for artists, theorists, and practitioners interested in environmental and performative aesthetics.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Contingent Agencies is an artistic research project initiated by Alex Arteaga and Nikolaus Gansterer. It is dedicated to the dynamic relationship between human and nonhuman forces as conditions for the emergence of atmospheres. The cross-disciplinary investigation utilizes practices of notating, reflecting, showing, and sharing that are employed in different media and within different theoretical contexts such as phenomenology, enactivism, and new materialism.
This book, which is supplemented by an extensive online archive, contains numerous research artifacts such as texts, drawings, photo series, diagrams, sound recordings, and video stills and is intended as an invitation to a wider community to participate in this investigation.
