Resolution Dispute 0011 : Institutional Tactics https://beyondresolution.info/0011-Resolution-Dispute-Institutions Kunst Hochschule Kassel New Media Slides Summer Semester. Slides of the Kunst Hochschule Kassel New Media Slides Summer Semester by Rosa Menkman. From the course "Beyond Resolution". To establish a better understanding of our technologies, we need to acknowledge that the term »resolution« does not just refer to a numerical quantity or a measure of acutance. A resolution involves the result of a consolidation between interfaces, protocols, and materialities. Resolutions thus also entail a space of compromise between these different actors. Resolutions are the determination of what is run, read, and seen, and what is not. In a way, resolutions form a lens of (p)reprogrammed »truths.« But their actions and the qualities have moved beyond a fold of our perspectives; and we have gradually become blind to the politics of these congealed and hardened compromises. Technology and its inherent resolutions are never neutral; every time a new way of seeing is created, a new prehistory is being written.
