Signal

The conference SIGNAL brings an international group of speakers together to examine key histories, discourses and contemporary practices in the field of ”art réseau“, or Network Art. The group of 12 artists, historians and curators will address the topic in four themed discussion days: Culture-Instability and Stability; Information and Mythology; (Eco)systems and ecology; Aesthetics and Politics. The event is open to the public. Formal presentations in the morning are developed in chaired roundtable discussions each afternoon. The conference will be conducted in French and English, with live verbal translations. One presentation from each day will be live-streamed on the Internet. The event is accompanied by a specially designed and curated micro-site that serves as a forum for discussion, and a platform for publishing samples of the proceedings, and recordings of the video-streams.
