Summary:
Au-delà de la formalisation abstraite et des mirages de l'automatisation associés à la blockchain, ce dossier interroge la manière dont cette technologie d'enregistrement devient le catalyseur d'expérimentations artistiques et culturelles. Les pratiques analysées concernent les démarches plastiques qui se saisissent de l'univers de représentations de la blockchain, les expérimentations muséales et institutionnelles, les applications de la blockchain aux marchés de l'art, aux circuits ou à la gouvernance du secteur des arts. Les contributions réunies permettent d'éclairer, sous un angle esthétique et politique, les relations entre l'informel et la formalisation technique et à interroger les économies mutualistes ou de nouveaux modèles de revenus pour les arts. Ce dossier propose un espace de réflexion sur ces dynamiques et leur résonance avec les enjeux de la création et de l'organisation artistiques au 21e siècle.

Summary:
The seventh issue of Errant Journal is guest edited by Ghiwa Sayegh and aims to interrogate the role of the body in strategies of resistance from below. Taking Palestine as a starting point, the ongoing genocide committed by Israel and other colonial powers and the people’s continued struggle for liberation inform the issue’s thinking and praxis. From this political standpoint, it explores the ways in which bodies – that are sexualised, criminalised, racialised, crip – have been able to divert and subvert in order to fight back. To resist from the body is what crip theory tells us is a matter of need. It is a body that no longer fears deviation, specifically because of how cheap our lives are considered and how dangerous our futures are treated. It is about finding community and kinship when we are told we are alone.

Summary:
At a moment when the word “design” has come to refer to everything and thus nothing, this issue examines the hidden mechanics and visible output of design practice in order to track the shifting role of designers in society and to gauge the capacity of designers to effect change in a world of mounting crises. The issue’s title, ''Instruments of Service'', carries a double meaning. As defined in standard American Institute of Architects contracts, “Instruments of Service are representations, in any medium of expression now known or later developed, of the tangible and intangible creative work performed by the Architect and the Architect’s consultants under their respective professional services agreements. Instruments of Service may include, without limitation, studies, surveys, models, sketches, drawings, specifications, and other similar materials.” Instruments of service are the instruction manuals that architects—and other designers—make so that others can make something. They define the architect’s relationships with labor, construction, clients, and society. And these relationships—along with the agency of architectural practice—are changing as a growing number of external pressures force instruments of service to change. Architects and designers can also be seen as instruments of service to society, responsible to a continually shifting set of values. At a fundamental level, the designer’s job is to imagine and articulate a better future. In a time of crisis and competing value systems—market returns, cultural relevance, environmental response, social equity, automation—the role of the designer in society is ever more important and increasingly accountable to divergent interests that call into question the raison d’être of design practice itself.

Redonner à l’affect et à la subjectivité une place centrale dans l’exercice de la critique : tel est l’enjeu de ce dossier, qui accueille une série de gestes d’écriture et de pensée portés par une conception performative de la critique. Issues de la littérature, des arts vivants, des études cinématographiques et de l’histoire de l’art, les auteur·rices du numéro explorent diverses voies créatives (le fragment, le récit, l’entretien, le journal, le scénario, la poésie et l’essai) afin de performer la critique autrement. Ces écrits s’articulent ainsi comme autant de « textes-gestes » où la critique se fait agissante et se laisser affecter en s’engageant dans un rapport sensible aux œuvres et aux êtres.
