The title was a word play alluding to deepfake. Such computer generated videos and images based on deep learning algorithms, that teach themselves how to solve problems with large data sets, are used to swap faces in digital content to make the fake appear real. My intention was to use AI to discover deeper patterns in my own choreographic approach. With the question about authenticity of one’s artistic voice in mind, I planned to use my artistic archive compiled throughout the years and with the help of AI, discover something that exceeds my naked eye or my analytical capabilities. <img width="404" height="454" width_o="404" height_o="454" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e0a28d74b3b685d7dc5478c3016bf571c49270bbab0369277e478aebb38be92d/Screen-Shot-2021-09-07-at-15.49.42.png" data-mid="118279370" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/404/i/e0a28d74b3b685d7dc5478c3016bf571c49270bbab0369277e478aebb38be92d/Screen-Shot-2021-09-07-at-15.49.42.png" />image1: produced by PoseNet, running on tensorflow.js During the first few weeks of the research a myriad of questions opened up concerning the expectations to train AI to create&nbsp;simulations of my past works to inform my new work or to produce unprecedented work and results. I aimed for making an AI a collaborator that would help me discover deep structures in my work that escape the&nbsp;human eye and create a digital model of how I could describe my choreographic approach. As the computer vision presents problems working with the video - high computational and storage resource requirements, I reconsidered the entry point into my archive. Among videos, images, audio recordings and text I decided to start with the latter.&nbsp; In order to not be dependent on or subject to only commercial uses of these technologies that are&nbsp;increasingly mediating my everyday life it is crucial to address the sharing aspect of the research - access, exchange, non-expertise use. As well as inbuilt gendered bias in the mentioned tools, which when addressed properly would offer a chance of becoming more usable for larger number of people. <img width="1323" height="1295" width_o="1323" height_o="1295" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f46e01247ae48e326666c733500ac8036e4ac4bd27a1815a9e9f5b8935616d4b/BKM_Neustart_Kultur_Wortmarke_pos_RGB_RZ.jpg" data-mid="117858042" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f46e01247ae48e326666c733500ac8036e4ac4bd27a1815a9e9f5b8935616d4b/BKM_Neustart_Kultur_Wortmarke_pos_RGB_RZ.jpg" /> Currently I am working with Infranodus - text-network analysis tool.

Rampre works mainly as a choreographer, sometimes as a dance pedagog and facilitator, also as a movement advisor for theatre. Lately her work gravitates towards live-coding environments, as well as DIY, low-fi explorations of technical devices as aids for devising and understanding movement. The framework of artistic research enables her to negotiate between her long-term interests, multiple collaborations and inquiry into a variety of approaches and consequent formats of knowledge that the arts produce. CURRENT PROJECTS BETONNYMPHEN (was weiß der Schrei?) long term research on screaming in residency at Workspace Brussels gefördert durch Auf Geht’s Stipendium des&nbsp;Ministeriums für Kultur und Wissenschaft des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen ORAKEL A performative installation in collaboration with Emanuelle Soavi Incompany ORAKEL (Trailer) from Emanuele Soavi INcompany on Vimeo. https://lilimrampre.cargo.site/Off-stage-Others Sun, 21 Mar 2021 18:43:47 +0000 Lili M https://lilimrampre.cargo.site/Off-stage-Others Off-stage Others for detailed material visit -&nbsp;http://madewitholga.be/pages/OffstageOthers My primary intention of the residency was to look into how we speak about dance and how we practice it; how the discursive and physical practices relate in co-constructing one another. I was interested in how somatic discourse is not only descriptive but also performative part of the bodily practices. I aimed for exploration of orality in dance, carrying much of the characteristics or imprints of physical practices that get lost in the process of articulating it in the written word. The first residency was focused on developing a series of studio interviews with somatic/dance practitioners that would later be transformed into a written work of fiction. 1st phase - 1.12.2020-31.1.2021 Off-stage Others explores the role of orality in dance, as part of the practice and as a way to narrativize (inscribe, rewrite, and capture in language) our dance practice. Through a series of interviews with dancers and other artists, I explored how discursive and physical practices relate to and co-construct each other. The map of concerns collected during the process addresses how the practitioners' pre-public discourse is shaped in relation to the specificity of their artistic practice. <img width="933" height="752" width_o="933" height_o="752" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4cf6f210250603491201f288411d87fc23a844c8952d912749667578dc1c67e4/Pop-Fi---categories.jpg" data-mid="107362704" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/933/i/4cf6f210250603491201f288411d87fc23a844c8952d912749667578dc1c67e4/Pop-Fi---categories.jpg" /> I continue my work in a subsequent TakeCare residency with two important questions that are crucial for me as further guidelines; how does digital discourse affect the somatic, how can we reconceptualize the notion of "experience" based on the analytical conditions of the digital, what the body can still do, and the resurgence of the body as a resistance to the digitization of experience and the mystification to remain opaque in the face of the AI-driven extractionist agenda. And the second is about the research itself - how can I make the results of my research transparent and share it with the community I've engaged with, or how can I fundamentally imagine what will happen to the results. I highly recommend keeping a research diary as part of the methodology to keep ourselves aware of what we encounter in the course of the research than to jump to conclusions and interpret the series of events, obstacles, and unexpected questions that arise in the research. Firstly, to note for ourselves where we are with our own questions, as this opens up a scope of tools and possibilities for experimentation as well as for possible implementations that we can easily overlook when deciding in advance what the (desired) outcomes of our research are. 2nd phase - 1.2.-31.3.2021 The main focus of this research was to capture the gap between formally held and lived beliefs, and our concerns about what we make social versus what we individualise and how this colours the narratives by which we live, work, collaborate, suffer, create, love, and have families. I believe in collectivising these half-digested thoughts, in order to transform them into better stories that will, in turn, breed better realities. This way, we move our communities away from unified hive-minds, and find solidarity through sharing our personal situations. Through numerous interviews I tried to trace a sort of a pre-public discourse, that would capture opinions, desires, worries, complaints, sarcastic remarks, bits and pieces of culture we share. Although in simple, popular phrases my research was an attempt to dive deep into the engaged perspectives of the artists interviewed and a general overview of the artistic concerns.

Some might even be internalised clichés that we don’t want to assume or know only too well. A semi-private collection that once shared and circulated can shift a wider agenda on what matters to artists the most.&nbsp;Although starting with my closest colleagues and ourselves might be quite a small bubble (if not an echo-chamber) I ultimately aimed for shaping this research into a tool to connect distinct disciplines and different generations. Research trajectory led me from a map of concerns - ranging from the precarity of artistic work and the traumas of art education to the social mechanisms of cooperation governing our intimate attachments and creative endeavours,&nbsp; to an idea of a board-game. By not limiting myself to the medium and testing my ideas with multiple conversationalist*, I found most productive work in continuous shaping of the gap between my set-goals and the conditions set&nbsp; by the material I was working with. The future plans include diving into the complexity and intertwinement of the various aspects that make up freelance artistic life by creating a format that can make this research shareable and of interest to the same community that participated in it and wider. The proto-board game is aiming to collectively push towards clear self-evaluation and setting new standards for ourselves and the community within the artistic practices. <img width="3352" height="1856" width_o="3352" height_o="1856" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6b77ef5d21424a6c7eeb68fdb9ee20c699f01d82fb4153000f93768b40bfe08d/Screen-Shot-2021-05-04-at-14.23.07.png" data-mid="107362579" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6b77ef5d21424a6c7eeb68fdb9ee20c699f01d82fb4153000f93768b40bfe08d/Screen-Shot-2021-05-04-at-14.23.07.png" /> Supported by Fonds Darstellende Künste with funds from the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media. <img width="1024" height="512" width_o="1024" height_o="512" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e67df0aa93f5e4020b683b1c3871a76f2bebdd86c174d7b5c044c45956c2d02f/Daku_Slide01-1-1024x512.jpg" data-mid="102770340" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e67df0aa93f5e4020b683b1c3871a76f2bebdd86c174d7b5c044c45956c2d02f/Daku_Slide01-1-1024x512.jpg" /> https://lilimrampre.cargo.site/Pop-Fi-game Wed, 09 Jun 2021 17:08:29 +0000 Lili M https://lilimrampre.cargo.site/Pop-Fi-game Pop-Fi game <img width="2306" height="718" width_o="2306" height_o="718" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/df5c5bf9bae5901d355e1a5c926eb82c1ce90ac9e9c257949ba05f02a2683e0d/Screen-Shot-2021-06-09-at-19.17.15.png" data-mid="110904578" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/df5c5bf9bae5901d355e1a5c926eb82c1ce90ac9e9c257949ba05f02a2683e0d/Screen-Shot-2021-06-09-at-19.17.15.png" /> Poster designed by: Jernej Žumer <img width="3344" height="1858" width_o="3344" height_o="1858" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/49f37aed86408426a6151d59562da9ef65c15e8a99048ae6ce2ff433108160f1/Screen-Shot-2021-06-09-at-19.09.21.png" data-mid="110903043" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/49f37aed86408426a6151d59562da9ef65c15e8a99048ae6ce2ff433108160f1/Screen-Shot-2021-06-09-at-19.09.21.png" /> https://lilimrampre.cargo.site/Authorised Mon, 13 Apr 2020 13:54:22 +0000 Lili M https://lilimrampre.cargo.site/Authorised AuthorisedAutorisiert GO TO TRAILER BY CLICKING ON THE LINK see first version of Authorised from 2014, filmed in Mousonturm, Frankfurt am Main LINK “Art requires reflection. Audiences require curiosity – in addition to the desire to engage in reflection. Both curiosity and desire are what we aim to arouse – with a festival that always marks a state of exception. With dance, choreographic experiments and artistic ventures. With socially relevant art that establishes connections between the work the audience. The festival-wide installation “AUTHORISED” by Lili M. Rampre puts the audience in front of the camera in exactly this way. It allows spectators to have a say, toying with the concept of authorship in art and the role of the beholder, by enquiring: What was the biggest challenge you faced while developing this work? What inspired the choreography? And anyway: What is it about?Pondering these questions when we attend a performance confronts us with our own perceptive faculties. Watching is an active task – a balancing act between what is real and what is imaginary. A single performance can change our perspective and our mentality. We truly believe in the power of art when it is met with curiosity and interest.” tanz nrw 2019 <img width="720" height="960" width_o="720" height_o="960" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/50ed86b64c3b0649ca549aa36e9914f98bf12c43770217cb859b18e1df92acb4/55940008_2481988218497358_3503659613692100608_n.jpg" data-mid="66769240" border="0" data-scale="49" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/720/i/50ed86b64c3b0649ca549aa36e9914f98bf12c43770217cb859b18e1df92acb4/55940008_2481988218497358_3503659613692100608_n.jpg" /> KONZEPT / RECHERCHE / SCRIPT / INSTALLATION: Lili M.

Rampre and Júlia Rúbies Subirós developing strategies to ventriloquise theoretical ideas through popular culture.Using techniques such as appropriation, dubbing, comic resources, performance and poetry, we gather concerns about the art domain and 're-sample' them within another mainstream context, commonly known by many. In this way, we seek to transform the often distressing anxiety of the academic discourse that surrounds the discipline of dance, choreography and artistic research. The project is part of Lili’s research on artistic discourse formation, supported by apass Research Center, platform for artistic research in Brussels, as Lili is their associated researcher in 2020/2021.Watch Workshop video&nbsp;here: https://vimeo.com/401409810 pw workshop-epicVideo made by Federico Vladimir Strate Pezdirc<img width="2048" height="1367" width_o="2048" height_o="1367" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1a2cab47c43b65b9a7aadb8e46a5cc8c6a31b2c158586b4a4e23dbd28adbaf7d/107914053_3008916729162055_7307670667748180643_o.jpg" data-mid="79625505" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1a2cab47c43b65b9a7aadb8e46a5cc8c6a31b2c158586b4a4e23dbd28adbaf7d/107914053_3008916729162055_7307670667748180643_o.jpg" /> photos by Igor Unuk<img width="2048" height="1366" width_o="2048" height_o="1366" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/379fa0c801d91d39d9a3041a7c7f78a70ef4aeec227bd58abc10839ca24e0181/106633731_309396123547181_4386994766142334985_n.jpg" data-mid="79626238" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/379fa0c801d91d39d9a3041a7c7f78a70ef4aeec227bd58abc10839ca24e0181/106633731_309396123547181_4386994766142334985_n.jpg" /> Lili M.

Interviews were audio recorded, while the guests were under a specific somatic practice treatment (fascia hands on work, rolfing, Bali Massage, reflexotherapy…). It had later been edited into a fictional narrative as a document testifying to a rich history of the&nbsp; venue, with a special focus on the “performance of resistance” within theatre context. With this dispositive we were not only looking to expose a certain part of art history that is often overlooked, but are emphasising the voice of audience rarely included into “archiving practices”.
