Hito Steyerl amongst others points to the links which still exist with materiality and the authentic (<b><\/b>for example see<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=shszTJ98NZo&amp;feature=youtu.be\" target=\"_blank\"> link<\/a>). If relationships with the material and between individuals have been altered due to the new media (and social networking in particular) then authenticity is perhaps revealed through the glitches, through intentional mockery or misuse of these new systems, hidden codes and artificial intelligence.<br \/>\nMiche\u00e1l O\u2019Connell\/Mocksim\u2019s artistic practice deliberately seeks to engage with error, the faults, digital and otherwise, including what is comedic. His research at Sussex is centering around the concept of Artificial Stupidity (as opposed to Artificial Intelligence). The suggestion is that the fractures in systems, in behaviour, the failures are not only reassuring but loaded too in terms of meaning. Marlene Haring\u2019s activity, which purposely messes with the everyday processes people participate in, raises alarm bells about human intimacy. She is concerned with real social networking and the corporeal in a world seemingly obsessed with the on-line variety. For years Simon Morse has investigated the notations and signalling embedded but often unnoticed as part of the corporate and contemporary industrial\/consumerist backdrop. He mocks these obscure and apparently functional languages through re-appropriation treating them as forms of amusement or decoration.<br \/>\nThe panel will consider whether authenticity is revealed through such play, either by consciously seeking out what\u2019s wrong and (re)presenting it or actually creating problems and so generating critique.<\/p>\n<p><b>\/\/ Speakers_<\/b><br \/>\n<b><a href=\"http:\/\/reframe.sussex.ac.uk\/mediamorphosis\/2013\/03\/18\/marlene-haring_show-me-yours-ill-show-you-mine-2\/\" target=\"_blank\">Marlene Haring<\/a>_<a href=\"http:\/\/reframe.sussex.ac.uk\/mediamorphosis\/2013\/03\/18\/simon-morse_unthinking-the-thinkable-and-correcting-its-spelling-2\/\" target=\"_blank\">Simon Morse<\/a>_<br \/>\n<b>Chaired by_Mocksim<\/b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cIt no longer makes sense to think in medium-specific terms\u201d, not necessarily because \u201cdigital media incorporate all previous media\u201d as&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":868,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[13,9,25],"tags":[14],"class_list":["post-814","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-may-10-2013","category-mediamorphosis","category-panel","tag-mediamophosis"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/reframe.sussex.ac.uk\/mediamorphosis\/files\/2013\/03\/PANEL-SLIDER-moksim.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p3fAHJ-d8","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/reframe.sussex.ac.uk\/mediamorphosis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/814","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/reframe.sussex.ac.uk\/mediamorphosis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/reframe.sussex.ac.uk\/mediamorphosis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reframe.sussex.ac.uk\/mediamorphosis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reframe.sussex.ac.uk\/mediamorphosis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=814"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/reframe.sussex.ac.uk\/mediamorphosis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/814\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":832,"href":"https:\/\/reframe.sussex.ac.uk\/mediamorphosis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/814\/revisions\/832"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reframe.sussex.ac.uk\/mediamorphosis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/868"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/reframe.sussex.ac.uk\/mediamorphosis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=814"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reframe.sussex.ac.uk\/mediamorphosis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=814"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reframe.sussex.ac.uk\/mediamorphosis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=814"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
