How do geometries affect us? Which geometric shapes can assist in transcending sovereign infrastructures and in taking collective action? Femke Snelting discusses these questions and challenges the promises of circularity and underlines the urge for geometries of non-romantic togetherness and continuous transformation. Snelting asserts that it is only when various constraints, fragilities, and possibilities are taken into account, that new topologies may emerge based on collective desire and action.

“I want to find a way in this conversation to not remain circling around feelings of powerlessness and stunted outrage; we need ‘affective infrastructures’ that help us feel differently, such that we might act unexpectedly. That we might act at all.” With this call, Lou Cornum opened the archipelagic exchange published in this same journal.1 Lou invited the Study Circle to explore the dynamic tensions between “affect” and “infrastructure” in order to find a way out of the paralyzing feeling of “circling around.” A circle is a simple geometric shape. The term “circle” can refer to the outline of a figure, or to a round shape, including its interior. Circles are mathematically defined as the set of all points in a plane that are at the same distance from a shared center; its boundary or circumference is formed by tracing the curve of a point that keeps moving at a constant radius from the middle.

festival for art and digital culture”—a decision reflective of a shift towards a more open approach that would include art, technology, and everyday life in an increasingly digitalized world instead of the previous, narrower focus on media art alone.

The change reflected the programmatic extension of the festival, which by then encompassed a broad spectrum of multimedia art forms such as Internet and Software Art.

I have down voted almost every single comment you have made. Stop posting until you learn how to contribute not just copy the quote before you or repetitively post the same thing. When in doubt, read don’t post. Posting will NOT earn you REL Coins and will only irritate active members if the post is irrelevant. As a rule of thumb, if you don’t know what will or will not be relevant, you should not be posting in that community. That said, you can still bet/stake on posts.
