Without computer (anthropocene and digital imaginaries)
Based on the hypothesis of a collapse of the IT infrastructure, and so, of a post-digital collapse, this symposium aims at suspending the occupation of the world. Given the omnipresence of computers, we want to provoke reflection to imagine what comes after.
MATTER(S) matter(s): Bridging Research in the Arts and Sciences
With their shared interests in materiality and topical issues—the dual “matters” invoked in the exhibition title—the artists in the exhibition reveal an “epistemological turn” in the arts and sciences, focusing on how knowledge is produced and how the process of production inflects meaning and interpretation. This major presentation highlights how artists and scientists work together to imagine the future, today.

La Complessità come problema, sistema e risorsa
Pordenone, 23 Maggio 2018
Ore 09:30 - 17:30 presso Consorzio Universitario - Pordenone FVG
Se i problemi che ci assillano: ambiente, alimentazione, lavoro, povertà, salute, sono generati da una rete di fattori che si configurano in modo ricorsivo e sistemico, il pensiero abilitato alla loro soluzione sarà plausibilmente un pensiero anch’esso “a rete”. Il problema è che questo nuovo paradigma cognitivo che, in definitiva, è lo stesso che regola i processi in natura, non ci viene spontaneo m...

Evolutionary creativity. The inner life and meaning of art
Generative art is a key example of a general transformation carried on by many disciplines, which are going to populate our world with increasingly different subjects. [...] In mirroring nature and life, also the generative art forms and processes are leading to the advent of a “Third Life”, the life that little by little humanity is giving to its artefacts.
