Talk:Social pedestal

Untitled
Dear Editors, I have contacted the Wiki volunteers, wanting to make sure these recent uploaded articles I am subject of do not compromise the standards of Wikipedia. Therefore, asked their opinion, make sure these concerns do not overstep the conflict of interest clause. They suggested I propose ‘request edits’ to the content, these are:

The citation on the third paragraph - ‘Berríos-Negrón states that “most of these works, as temporary, cultural things…” ‘

should be removed, or replaced by:

“This effort is primarily conceived as contributing to the seen, unseen, sensible, yet unimaginable complex of environmental form. Easily assimilated to the concept of a boundary object (Star, 1989), as a cultural thing, abstract or concrete, it alone may have little value. But, when situated, it gives manifold access to many participants and observers to a more ample social and analytical reality. This primarily mental architectonic looks to reform temporary space through 4th dimensional probability, not necessarily as social sculpture, but more as social pedestals.”

Reference Berríos-Negrón, L. (2015) “A brief report on the dematerialisation and rematerialisation of spacetime: Anarchives, Site-Specific Greenhouse Superstructures, and Social (Hyperobjective) Pedestals” paper selected and presented at Mnemonics 2015 conference, University of Westminster (Sept. 6-8 2015) http://www.mnemonics.ugent.be/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Mnemonics-programme-2015.pdf The Kølbæk-Iversen citation was in the full interview (from where it was elected for this article) but did not make it to print in the Social Design Reader. Of course, this needs to be corrected. But, the interview with Kølbæk-Iversen is certainly relevant and might be best placed on Further Readings.

I would like to reaffirm that the concept of “social pedestal” has been present in my work as described, and has been presented in various lectures in various institutions. Here is a selection:

Experiment Stockholm - lecture “Greenhouses and other Social Pedestals”, Färgfabriken (May 26, 2015) http://www.fargfabriken.se/en/program-experiment-stockholm-2015/26-may-the-greenhouse-as-a-social-pedestal

Mnemonics 2015 conference at King’s/Westminster/Goldsmiths, London - paper presentation "Anarchives, Site-Specific Greenhouse Superstructures, and the Social (Hyperobjective) Pedestal" (Sept. 8, 2015); http://www.mnemonics.ugent.be/news/programme-for-mnemonics-2015-london/

Sheffield University Resilience at the Human Scale conference - paper presentation "Greenhouse Superstructures as Social Pedestals: Displaying site-specific non-locality as a possible form of resilience" (Sept. 11, 2015); https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/polopoly_fs/1.504063%21/file/Proceedings_27mb.pdf

Homecomings symposium, Aedes, Berlin - lecture "Weaving and Unweaving in the 4th dimension: Abstract Machines and Social Pedestals” (October 11, 2014); http://www.ancb.de/sixcms/detail.php?id=14608577#.VGiTL4fi8rg

I would like to also suggest:

- To replace Reference num.8 (now is Leckey) with,

8. Leslie, E. (2013) “Anima Mundi: On Mark Leckey”, Afterall Journal, The University of Chicago Press

The Leslie article is precise to Leckey’s work and dematerialisation.

The Leckey “See, We Assemble” reference is best at “further readings”.

- To add this link/publication from the Bahia Biennial that also expands on the term Social Pedestal (English translations in the appendices), https://issuu.com/bienaldabahia/docs/tear_do_terreiro_smaalest__1_

to the Further Reading, Berríos-Negrón, L. (2013) “Nonsphere XIII: Looming Greenhouse”, 3rd Biennial of Art of Bahia, catalogue of 3rd Biennial of Art of Bahia, published by Museum of Modern Art of Bahia, Salvador, Brasil

- And replace,

Anxious Prop (Berríos-Negrón, L., et al, 2010) “Case 2: Eccentric”, (http://www.theanxiousprop.org/pdf/AXP_Case2_07-2010.pdf)

Anxious Prop (Berríos-Negrón, L., et al, 2011) “Case 4: Making Visible”, (http://www.theanxiousprop.org/pdf/AXP+CASE4_iFb.pdf)

With more specific articles:

Bovelet, J. (2011) “Fukushima makes visible: a compilation of visualizations”, Anxious Prop (Berríos-Negrón, L., ed. et al) “Case 4: Making Visible”, http://www.theanxiousprop.org/pdf/AXP+CASE4_iFb.pdf

Rheinberger, H.J. (2008) “Epistemic Objects / Technical Objects”, Anxious Prop (Berríos-Negrón, L., et al, 2010) “Case 2: Eccentric”, http://www.theanxiousprop.org/pdf/AXP_Case2_07-2010.pdf

Needlesstosay, I am willing to support in any way that may help clarify the description to make it more comprehensible.

I sure appreciate that there has been an initiative to upload this material, but most importantly, that it is done properly, and that you feel it is a genuine contribution to the discourse.

I remain Most Attentive. Grateful for you consideration and time.

Very Best, Luis Berríos-Negrón LuisBerriosNegron (talk) 09:41, 25 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Edit request declined for the following:


 * 1. All but one of the links above say nothing more than that a talk or event will happen at some point somewhere, and provides no substantive information.
 * 2. The only link that actually leads to anything of any "substance", is really nothing but obscurantist garbage. It could be added as a source if it actually said anything, but it doesn't appear to.
 * 3. It seems the article has been added to Luis Berríos-Negrón which seems appropriate, as it appears to be a personal neologism, and not a serious academic concept. Timothy Joseph Wood  14:14, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
