In the Making nr. 14: Resonance in the Inanimate > Thursday 22 January > Pavlos KountourioIs and Mariella Greil — On the boundaries between the algorithm and human expression
The first session of 2026 will focus on the work of artist and KABK deputy chair Pavlos Kountouriotis, in which he will present his performance-as-research work that spirals into absurdity: Two Bobs and a Steve. In this work, he will explore resonance within the inanimate, probing the boundaries between the algorithm and human expression.
Artist Mariella Greil will respond to Pavlos presentation by explaining her perspective of Embodied Research as a Cosmopoietic Œkology. She will elaborate on the interconnections between choreography and materiality, ethics and œcology. A particular emphasis will be drawn onto processes of emergence, relation, and transformation that move beyond the static or representational and instead linger in the terrain of becoming.
After the two presentations, a panel discussion will unfold, including media artist Lindsey Housden (KABK) and research lector Paul Craenen (KC) and a Q&A with the audience.
‘In the Making’ is a public program and a collaboration between the Academy of Creative and Performing Arts (ACPA) at Leiden University and Art Institute West Den Haag.
