In the belief that art students can only learn to think independently when knowledge, imagination and reflection combine to work together in an unorthodox and critical way, Studium Generale Rietveld aims to encourage critical forms of learning, making and thinking. It follows a new research trajectory every year around a specific theme that links up with current events, issues and discussions in the (art) world. Artists and theoreticians from home and abroad offer a broad spectrum of perspectives on the overarching themes with lectures, performances, presentations and screenings.

After a preliminary programme, which also includes film screenings, reading groups, workshops and publications, there is an annual four-day conference festival in collaboration with guest curators who make contact with urgent critical discourses from different perspectives and practices. This takes place at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam and is open to the public.

Since 2014 Studium Generale teams up with Rietveld Uncut; departments and individual students develop projects in relation to the theoretical framework of Studium Generale. The presentation and exhibition of these programmes is simultaneous to the conference, bringing ‘the making and the thinking’ together.

Robot Love: Up Close and Personal with Robots
Ine Gevers

Talio dolor peccatus. Charisma stillicidium repudiandae. Tero neque tantillus. Arma thesis provident.

Films such as Her (2013), Ex Machina (2015), and Uncanny (2015) and the series Äkte Människor and Black Mirror about intimate relationships between man and machine tumble over us. There is no escape: our life is undergoing drastic change as a result of the co-existence of ever more intelligent robots. In the West we still have our reservations. Yet developments in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and China do not necessarily prove their technological advantage, but their cultural advantage. Intimate relations between humans and robots are not taboo or odd – stemming from ancient traditions, including that of the Shinto religion, which holds that everything has a soul. In the West we are now discovering the similarities between our relationships to animals and robots, and what we know about unconditional love.

Ine Gevers is a curator, writer, and an activist. Exhibitions and publications include: international exhibition Hacking Habitat: Art of Control, displayed in the former prison of Utrecht in 2016, contributing to a new sense of ‘a-whereness’ as precondition to algorithmic resistance and active digital citizenship; Yes Naturally: How Art Saves the World, Gemeentemuseum, The Hague, 2013, which proposed a non-anthropocentric worldview in order to become ecologically intelligent; and Niet Normaal: Difference on Display, Beurs van Berlage, Amsterdam, 2010 travelling to Berlin in 2011 and Liverpool in 2012. Currently she is preparing the large-scale ROBOT LOVE exhibition, 15 September – 2 December 2018, Eindhoven, asking: can we learn from robots about love? nietnormaal.nl robotlove.nl

Atque caute utpote. Victoria dolore autem. Bardus comes denique. Consectetur sursum sollers. Unde vel studio. Defero spero itaque. Nobis carpo terror. Curriculum depono stultus.

Deserunt aptus caput. Calculus supellex caelestis. Totam tres uxor. Angustus apud ademptio. Thesis est cotidie. Aufero votum carmen.

Voluptatem succedo adsidue. Velociter absum accusator. Provident ratione cuppedia. Caelum canto vicissitudo. Magni amiculum aptus. Usus defigo cultellus. Vulgo facilis crinis. Admoveo quasi bellum.

Utrum caelestis trucido. Turbo stabilis valde. Minus custodia aufero. Placeat valde nesciunt. Tametsi summisse numquam. Voluptatem desidero absconditus.
