"holsa" (2017) with thunder - Maastricht - LCollective 2019

Academy in One Day
Whilst Arendt is chiefly famous for her provocative study of the trial of Adolf Eichmann – from which we get the famous phrase ‘the banality of evil’ – Arendt’s important philosophical work, The Human Condition, is a profoundly original study of human life that deserves far greater attention than it receives. 

At the centre of The Human Condition is Arendt’s bold distinction between three spheres of human activity: Labour, Work, and Action. Labour, the toil that is essential for the preservation of biological life, Arendt associates with necessity, with what we must do to survive. The recurrent cycle of Labour and its characteristic lack of individuality is redeemed in part by Work – that is, the creation of and addition to the tangible human edifice, in a way that outlasts our own lives and makes possible our being remembered. For Arendt, however, it is only in Action that we experience freedom, for in Action we show ‘who’ we are (unique individuals), not merely ‘what’ we are (members of the human species). Only in Action are we motivated by concerns that go beyond the preservation of life. Rehabilitating this state of freedom, which Arendt associates with politics, is the central concern of The Human Condition. To this end, she draws on the Christian-Humanist celebration of natality, offering an impassioned defence of the ‘miracle’ that is the birth of each and every unique human being. 

The Human Condition is a challenging yet endlessly rewarding text, and the freshness and erudition of Arendt’s prose stands as a fine advert for the humanist ideals of the academy.

The John Santos Sextet 'Art of the Descarga' available August 7th, 2020 on CD, digital, and streaming.

Built on the Afro-Caribbean past, forged by visionaries such as John Santos and his comrades, and steeled by its rootedness in American life, Latin jazz is a major force shaping contemporary American musical culture. Over decades of performing, arranging, producing, and teaching, Santos has helped make the San Francisco Bay area a Latin jazz stronghold. In Art of the Descarga, The John Santos Sextet and a parade of stellar guests mine the music’s imaginative motherlode, the descarga—the spontaneous, improvisatory interplay that is the beating heart of Latin jam sessions. Orestes Vilató, Jerry González, Orlando “Maraca” Valle, Tito Matos, Juan “Juango” Gutiérrez, and other luminaries join the sextet in this spectacular collision of beauty, design, and time-honored creativity.

Dans toute pensée critique du numérique, la question du visage se pose de manière centrale. Dans un monde de reconnaissance faciale, le visage est numérisé et donc « réifié » pour permettre divers modes d’identification qui font peser le risque d’une surveillance généralisée. 
Associées à des caméras de surveillance, les bases de données qui permettent à l’intelligence artificielle de procéder à l’authentification et à l’identification des personnes posent de très sérieux problèmes de libertés publiques. La notion de « smart city » est souvent confondue avec celle de « safe city », avec une privatisation préoccupante de fonctions régaliennes à commencer par celle de la police. Les usages commerciaux de la reconnaissance faciale (déverrouillage d’appareils électro-ménagers, paiement sur mobile, usages marketing…) produisent une accoutumance aux technologies intrusives, alors que ces questions mériteraient un débat démocratique beaucoup plus large. 
Or le visage a une signification transcendante : « la manière dont se présente l’autre (…), nous l’appelons visage » (Emmanuel Lévinas). Il est un « au-delà » de l’être, une expression de l’altérité radicale mais aussi de notre condition temporelle et de notre expérience vécue. Pour valoriser la part sensible des visages en dehors de la société des écrans, l’art et la littérature ont un rôle-clé. Il s’agit de ne pas subir l’ « empire du signal » (Pierre-Antoine Chardel) et de retrouver un « face à face » irremplaçable. Le visage, c’est « ce qui déborde » et qui n’est ni codifiable ni catégorisable, ni numérisable.
Une conférence de Pierre-Antoine Chardel, philosophe et sociologue, Institut Mines-Télécom Business School, et Asma Mhalla, spécialiste de l’économie numérique, maître de conférences à Sciences Po (Paris).
