Design, Chance, System, Impulse

Activity: Talk or presentation typesInvited talk

Description

How do Historical and contemporary artistic practices articulate the relation of design to chance, system to impulse, rule to variability? What are our present-day existential terrains given that, in the digital era, the senses are changing, too? Cultural memory has traditionally been concerned with the past in the present. Data, on the other hand, is concerned with the role of the present in the future. How should we think this new dynamic? Drawing on a recent research project The Future of Indeterminacy, in this talk I discuss our contemporary digital condition through a focus on intermedia, memory and bio-politics.
