Coincidence Control Lab

Coincidence Control Lab is a practical investigation of working with writing and narrative devices, and expanding the written word into other media. We will analyse narrative strategies employed by artists across moving image, installation, image-making, and more. The workshop will run through introducing and discussing some useful theoretical tools for storytelling and narrative-building, and applying them hands-on by doing writing, mapping, and form-finding exercises. We will play with structures borrowed from the scientific method and logic, and exploit the love letter as a writing tool. The workshop will be a collaborative hub for producing experimental writing and translating it into other material or immaterial forms. We will throw words against objects and objects against words and see what sticks.

Dates and hours: 11, 12, 13 November, 11:00 to 13:00
Attendance: ASFA students only

About Dasha Loyko
Dasha Loyko (b.1995) is an artist and writer based in London from Minsk, Belarus. Her work engages with the leaky border between language and objects, and investigates the tangible impact that storytelling exerts on the world. Building on her background in philosophy of science, Loyko’s practice begins with experimental writing that cross-contaminates metaphor and scientific fact, logic and desire, rationality and humour, and expands the written word into voice, moving image, sculpture, and code. Loyko holds an MA in Contemporary Art Practice from the Royal College of Art and a BSc in Philosophy, Logic and Scientific Method from the London School of Economics.
