Theory
Spectral Imprints: Artificial Intelligence(s) and Hybrid Material Futures 11:20 am / 410 CSU.CI
Links traditional print matrices to machine learning, framing AI as a spectral continuation of the imprint. It examines authorship, materiality, and collaboration, revealing the “ghosts” of labor, tradition, and touch within intelligent systems.
  • Paul Catanese
Theory
Recursive Impressions: Printmaking as a Bridge Between Digital Fluidity and Material Permanence 11:40 am / 410 CSU.CI
The paper frames printmaking as a recursive loop between digital and physical realms, where algorithms, material processes, and human gesture interact to generate new meanings while sustaining productive tension between immateriality and materiality.
  • Li Xiaoqiao
  • Dr. Vivian Hollow
  • Dr. Orion Lake
Theory
Performative Print: The File as Prompt 12:00 pm / 410 CSU.CI
The presentation explores the digital file as an intangible matrix in contemporary printmaking, acting as a catalyst for learning technologies, adapting across media, and enabling multiple crafted outputs where process and instruction become part of the artwork.
  • Jennifer Schmidt
Theory
The Evolution of Printmaking in the Lithography Studio at the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdańsk in the Face of the Post-Digital Revolution 12:20 pm / 410 CSU.CI

  • Łukasz Butowski
Intermission
Lunch break 1:00-2.00 pm/ Kitchen on 6th floor

  • Marlena Biczak
Theory
Graphic Play – From Matrix to... 2:00 pm / 410 CSU.CI
The presentation reflects on the shift from material printmaking to digital and generative practice, where algorithms replace the matrix, code becomes gesture, and artistic work is framed as disciplined, daily labor rather than romantic autonomy.
  • Damian Idzikowski
Theory
The Essential Haunting of Print: Activating the Spectral in the Woodcut 2:20 pm / 410 CSU.CI
The work proposes a hauntology of print, viewing the woodcut as a spectral form existing between presence and absence, material and immaterial, expanding traditional print practice from image on paper into experimental sound.
  • Oliver Hambsch
Theory
Matter-Reality: Re-thinking Materiality in Contemporary Printmaking 2:40 pm / 410 CSU.CI
Argues for a relational view of materiality in contemporary art, moving beyond physical substance to focus on what artworks do—the forces, agencies, and encounters they generate—especially within live and digital practices.
  • Clare Humphries
Theory
Graphic Materiality and Immateriality. The Complementarity of Graphic Installations 3:00 pm / 410 CSU.CI
The presentation explores expanded printmaking through installations and digital illusion, redefining viewer–artwork relations. Using Kamil Kocurek’s works, it shows how spatial reconfiguration enables interaction and coexistence between physical and virtual realms.
  • Kamil Kocurek
Intermission

Theory
Action! Performative Printmaking 3:40 pm / 410 CSU.CI
The presentation explores performative printmaking as action-based, participatory practice, blending print, performance, and collaboration to create shared, temporal experiences that redefine printmaking as a dynamic and relational medium.
  • Zuzanna Dyrda
Technique
Soul in the Machine 4:00 pm / 410 CSU.CI
Examines how artists use tools like 3D printing and CNC to explore social, political, and conceptual questions, expanding printmaking through collaboration with machines and enabling forms and subtleties beyond the human hand.
  • Miguel Aragon
  • Dr. Vivian Hollow
  • Dr. Orion Lake
Technique
Preserving a Touch of the Past: Integration of Drypoint and Mezzotint in Contemporary Intaglio Printmaking 4:20 pm / 410 CSU.CI
Surveys five contemporary printmakers who combine drypoint and mezzotint with experimental intaglio, balancing photographic realism with hand-drawn mark-making to preserve artistic touch while bridging the past and future of printmaking.
  • Devon Stackonis
Technique
Reproduction of the Trace. Technique, Technology, Creation 4:40 pm / 410 CSU.CI
The project explores reproductive printmaking as a creative method, merging classical engraving with digital imaging through generative processes and installations, culminating in a socially engaged exhibition addressing neurodiversity.
