Public Symposium:<\/span>
\nArts and Theories in the Post-Media Era<\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/h2>\n

Media ecology is dramatically changing our understanding and perception of the world and the development of digital technology and its modes of information and codes of communication play a leading role in human affairs: shifts from mass media to social media, from analogue to digital and from cultural to creative industries, is transforming society, economy, culture, the body and its environment.\u00a0We may call our age the \u2018Post-Media\u2019 period following the argument posed by Felix Guattari and others.<\/p>\n

How, then are arts and culture developing in relation to new media? How should we develop new theories to analyze contemporary media? In this public symposium, we will discuss media, arts and culture and theoretical development in the Post-Media, by inviting Dr. Matthew Fuller, Professor of Cultural Studies and Director of Centre for Cultural Studies, Goldsmiths, University of London and leading figure in the field of software studies and Dr. Olga\u00a0Goriunova, Reader and Director of Postgraduate Research at the Department of Media Arts, Royal Holloway, University of London, a theorist of digital art and culture and curator.<\/p>\n

* No booking required. The symposium will be delivered in English and Japanese with translation.<\/strong><\/span>
\n * This symposium is supported by\u00a0JSPS KAKENHI Grant Number 17H02587.
\n<\/u>* There will be another lecture by Matthew Fuller on July 14, 2017<\/a>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\nKeynote Speech\u00a0<\/strong>Abstract:
\nMatthew FULLER<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cBlack Sites and\u00a0Transparency\u00a0layers\u201d<\/strong>
\nTransparency\u00a0is extolled as a virtue, and one specifically crystallised in the way in which computer interfaces compose relations between users, data, and processes.\u00a0 This lecture sets out a brief genealogy of transparency\u00a0in user interfaces and examines the way in which notions of\u00a0transparency\u00a0drawn from computational sources provide a means for a more general set of refrains in contemporary architecture, economics, politics, conflict and art.\u00a0\u00a0Coupled with the question of transparency\u00a0is of course that of what is hidden from view or occluded.\u00a0 How the two states combine to texture contemporary life has a fundamentally computational dimension to it that this lecture will attempt to address by looking at new cultural objects such as \u201cflat design\u201d and recent silicon valley architecture.<\/p>\n

Talk\u00a0<\/strong>Abstract:
\nOlga GORIUNOVA<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cData Subjects\u201d<\/strong>
\nIn this talk I will explore how we manage our subjectivities as they become data-based, processed and arranged by algorithms. Subjectivities we craftfully perform online connect in obscure ways to the data subjects aggregated from our data largely outside our knowledge and used on us. Whether the connections between our subjectivities, digital performances and data subjects are indexical, metaphorical, logical or poetic is an open question. I will illustrate my talk with art projects that pose this question in interesting ways.<\/p>\n
