Forensic Aesthetics: Vortrag
Anselm Franke: Boundary Studies - Are there Criteria for the Communication with Things?
Mittwoch, 12. Januar, 19 Uhr, Aula
What is the role of aesthetic processes in drawing the boundaries between what counts as "subjects" or "persons", and "things"? Against the backdrop of a long-term research and series of exhibitions on Animism, Franke will explore different models of accounting for, variously, the "agency", the "social life", or the "language" of things. What are the political blind spots in the divergent protocols that account of things and their role in socio-technologhical networks? What are the models of mediation?
