If every image in history can be seen at once, if every idea can be communicated, rebutted and digitally reformatted, if every space can host any form of presence, if it is truly a time for everything, then how do we address all that information?
To navigate this new environment, we need new ways of thinking about the relationship between time, space and the developing culture of images for audiences and artists alike.
Significant questions and answers are beginning to emerge in fields such as network theory and speculative realism, that may open new opportunities to collaborate on shared definitions of culture.
For his Mellon Visiting Artists Project, Matthew Ritchie has organized two public workshops this spring to examine how we can extend understanding and use of this new dimension in the shared space of culture. Working with an interactive knowledge map, the panelists, students and audience members together will discuss and re-map key concepts in critical discourse. Please see complete description below and knowledge map above.
