WITALKS 2005
Exchange 05
A joint event with p-10 on a series of public discussion on art issues was held at the p-10 premises. The four exchanges were:
1 April: Art Collaboratives: Performing Arts working with Visual arts
Write-up
1 May: Documents, documentary, documentation
Write-up
1 July: Enquiries in Art & Technology
The forum will discuss Technology, not simply as specialized technical enquiry or tools in the hands of artists, but as cultural creator and commentator, much like Art. Given the brisk changes from industrialism to mass media explosion, to the information economies and globalization, technologies used to create art have changed rapidly.
Ultimately, both Technology and Art are invested with cultural values, ideologies, ethical concerns, which are at the same time shaped by political and economic determinants.
