SUMMARY:DESIGN EARTH Artist Talk: Geostories
DESCRIPTION:Join DESIGN EARTH co-founders and co-directors Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy for their first presentation in Singapore\, where they will share insights into their collaborative research practice centred on the speculative architectural project as a mode of making the climate crisis public. Their design research brings together spatial history\, geographic representation\, projective design\, and material public assemblies to speculate on ways of living with legacy technologies on a damaged planet. Recipients of the United States Artist Fellowship and the Architectural League Prize for Young Architects and Designers\, among other honors\, Ghosn and Jazairy have made a practice of telling complex and unwieldy stories of the Earth. Learn more about their ongoing explorations of visual and spatial storytelling. \nFriday\, 13 June 2025\n6:30 – 8:30 pm \nThe Hall\, NTU CCA Singapore\n6 Lock Rd\, #01-09/10 Gillman Barracks 108934 \nFree registration here. \nImage: DESIGN EARTH\, Rania Ghosn (Left) and El Hadi Jazairy (right).

SUMMARY:Design Earth: Speculative Fiction for the Climate
DESCRIPTION:Design Earth: Speculative Fiction for the Climate springs from the conviction that climate change demands urgent transformations in the ways we care for and design the Earth. DESIGN EARTH\, a research practice founded and led by Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy engages the medium of the speculative architectural project to make public the climate crisis. This work is often developed simultaneously through the medium of drawing and the creation of books\, two of which are excerpted and put in conversation in this art exhibition. Geostories: Another Architecture for the Environment (Actar Publishers\, 2018) is a manifesto for environmental imagination in twelve architectural projects engaging the planetary scale through drawing divided by the organising principles of Aquarium\, Terrarium\, and Planetarium. This exhibition highlights three chapters from the larger work: After Oil\, 2016\, Pacific Aquarium\, 2016\, and Cosmorama\, 2018. The Planet After Geoengineering (Actar Publishers\, 2021) is a graphic novel which imagines the worlds of climate modification technologies and their controversies. Together these projects help us begin to consider and address the open question: how (else) could we tell the story of the Earth? \nCurated by Karin Oen \nDesign Earth: Speculative Fiction for the Climate is co-organised by NTU Centre for Contemporary Art and ADM Gallery \nADM Gallery 2 NTU\, School of Art\, Design and Media 81 Nanyang Dr\, Singapore 637458 \nArtist talk and Curator (de)Tour on 13 June 2025. Subscribe for updates. \n28 April to 13 June 2025 \nOpen by appointment from 14 June to 15 August 2025 \nMonday to Friday: 10:00am to 5:00pm \nSaturday: By appointment only \nClosed on Sunday and Public Holidays \nEMAIL  ADMgallery@ntu.edu.sg

SUMMARY:Natural Radio Workshop led by artist Ong Kian Peng
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will introduce participants to natural radio. Natural radio is the emission of Very Low Frequency (VLF) and Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) radio waves due to electromagnetic energy from natural phenomena. These emissions originate terrestrially from lightning and from the Sun’s interactions with the Earth’s magnetosphere\, they are among the inaudible voices of the environment. If the low frequencies of these electromagnetic outbursts are transformed into acoustic waves\, many of these signals may fall within the range of human hearing. Experiencing electromagnetic waves as acoustic waves will allow listeners to connect with the beauty and complexity of natural radio waves in a unique aural experience. \nBy the end of the workshop\, participants will be able to assemble an analogue handheld radio device that tunes in to natural radio frequencies. \nParticipants are encouraged to bring their own headphones with a 3.5mm audio jack\, along with an optional audio recorder to capture and share their auditory discoveries. \nThis workshop is part of the Empirical Workshop Series of Communities of Practice. Techno Diversions. \nNo prior knowledge of electronics is required. \nLimited slots only! Register here.\nThis workshop is free for all participants. A refundable deposit of SGD 10 is requested to book a slot. The deposit will be returned upon attendance of the event. There will be no refund in case of no-show. \nIf you have questions\, email ntuccacomms@ntu.edu.sg

SUMMARY:METAL MACHINE MISCHIEF (or how to make noise music with bicycles) by bani haykal
DESCRIPTION:“Riding bikes ain’t s#!+ without climate justice\, without land back\, without liberation of everybody.” Christina Torres\, Cyclista Zine \nThe bicycle is more than just a means of transportation. In our increasingly car-centric and carbon-heavy lifestyle\, cycling is a climate action that slows down the rate at which our planet is burning. Inspiring stories from Gaza have shown us how bicycles can be radically repurposed into washing machines\, sewing machines\, and even power generators. \nIn the first part of the workshop\, participants will be offered a set of unused bicycle components and they will be guided to devise and conceptualise new musical or sonic instruments with them. In the second part\, these unorthodox instruments will be played in a group jam session! \nParticipants are encouraged to bring personal items such as mallets\, drumsticks\, clarinet mouthpieces\, and/or any musical bobs and bits they can incorporate into the instruments. \nThis workshop is part of the Empirical Workshop Series of Communities of Practice. Techno Diversions. \nNo prior knowledge or experience is required. \nLimited slots only! Register here.\nThis workshop is free for all participants. A refundable deposit of SGD 10 is requested to book a slot. The deposit will be returned upon attendance of the event.

SUMMARY:Lecture & Screening: Unearthing the "Blue Frontier": The International Seabed Authority's New Mining Code and the Costs of Deep-Sea Mining
DESCRIPTION:Over the past decade\, deep-sea minerals like polymetallic nodules containing copper and cobalt have gained attention as a potential resource for green energy technologies such as batteries\, computers\, and electric cars. Found mainly on the international seabed (as well as within territorial waters)\, these nodules are regulated by the International Seabed Authority (ISA)\, which will finalize a mining code in 2025 that determines future deep-sea exploration and exploitation. Following Singapore’s Deep-Sea Mining Act of 2015\, Ocean Mineral Singapore\, a subsidiary of Keppel Offshore and Marine conducted two deep-sea expeditions to the Pacific Ocean. While some argue this extraction is crucial for the green transition\, Pacific nations warn of its harmful impact on marine biodiversity and climate change. This lecture will explore the environmental and societal implications of deep-sea mining\, starting with a screening of the film Blue Peril\, 2022 (INTERPRT / Professor Nabil Ahmed\, Deep Sea Mining Campaign & Ozeanien-Dialog)\, a science-based visual investigation using architectural and spatial analysis to model the potentially irreversible effects of deep-sea mining in the Pacific Ocean. Paired with testimonies from Pacific Island communities\, this film addresses the impacts on their economies and ways of life. Following this\, Tara Maria Davenport (Assistant Professor\, Faculty of Law\, National University of Singapore and Deputy Director\, Asia-Pacific Centre for Environmental Law) and Jonathan Galka (PhD Candidate\, History of Science Department\, Harvard University) will discuss the historic mining code and its future impact on resource extraction\, drawing from legal\, historical\, and community perspectives. \n🔗 Register here \n⏰ Tuesday\, 10 December 2024\, 6:30 – 8:00 pm\n📍 The Hall\, NTU CCA Singapore\nBlock 6 Lock Road\n#01-09 Gillman Barracks\nS108934 \n🖼️ Model of the seabed plume in the Nauru NORI D licence area using Open Drift.

SUMMARY:Temporal Oscillations. Electronics workshop led by artist Chok Si Xuan
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will explore how to use common electronic components to modulate the flow of electricity\, assemble and hijack standard systems of temporality. Participants will learn how a 555 timer integrated circuit (IC) forms an astable multivibrator. The 555 timer IC is a tiny chip found in many everyday devices—blinking LED lights\, kitchen timers\, alarm systems\, sound makers\, etc.—that modulates the frequencies of electrical signals. The term ‘astable’ means ‘not stable’ because the circuit never settles into a single state\, is a basic electronic circuit that generates a continuous oscillating output\, switching between two voltage levels. \nWorking with pre-assembled circuits created by the artist\, participants will be able to experiment with various components (small motors\, LED lights\, and speakers\, etc) as outputs. Exploring the transformation of different forms of energy—chemical energy from batteries\, mechanical energy \, kinetic energy and byproduct thermal energy\, the workshop accesses materiality as a manner of understanding the fundamental ways systems unfold. \nThrough engaging with electronic circuits in a hands-on and accessible way\, participants can expect to develop a direct understanding of some visible and less visible aspects that power everyday technology. Participants are encouraged to bring their own components for experimentation. These may include battery-operated toys\, LED lights or small light strips\, buzzers or small speakers\, direct current (DC) motors\, small fans\, switches or buttons\, old electronic parts like sensors or wires\, and similar items. \nThis workshop is part of the Empirical Workshop Series of Communities of Practice. Techno Diversions. \nThis workshop is suitable for age 18 and above.\nNo prior knowledge of electronics is required. \nLimited slots only! Register here.\nThis workshop is free for all participants. A refundable deposit of 10$ is requested to book a slot. The deposit will be returned upon attendance of the event. There will be no refund in case of no-show. \nIf you have questions\, please email ntuccacomms@ntu.edu.sg
