[Air-L] Invitation to Online Symposium // (In)Visibility of Art // November 21, 2020

[Sarah Rüller]

Dear all,

we are pleased to announce and invite you to our online symposium “(In)Visibility of Art - Potentials and Risks of Digitalization on a global, public and political Scale”, taking place fully virtually on November 21, 2020, 3-8pm CET.

Have a look at our website (https://in-visibility-of.art/) to find more information regarding our panellists, the keynote held by Kentaro Toyama and the registration process.

You might be wondering, why I share this with this community. The motivation behind this event is rooted in the question of the veracity of “improvements through digitalization” in the 'Global South', questioning the impact digitalization and the internet has and had on art and culture.
We have panellists from Palestine, Iran, Afghanistan, Senegal, India, Egypt and Germany.

Please share the event widely among your networks and reach out to us if you have further questions.

Best,
Sarah Rüller, on behalf of the entire organization team

The influence of digitalization on the visibility of art and artists cannot be analyzed simply and conclusively.
Various factors, such as history, politics, technical approaches, but also aesthetic questions, play a role in clarifying where which art is shown and perceived by whom.

We have invited artists, academics, and cultural practitioners to discuss the (in-)visibility of art in the context of globalization and digitalization – the potentials, the risks and the implications for us as a society.

The Symposium “(In)Visibility of Art” will take place fully online on Saturday, November 21, 2020 from 3-8pm (CET).
