Post-technological Experiences. Art-Science-Culture

Post-technological experiences. Art-Science- Culture is a transdisciplinary conference that consists of discussion panels, lectures, performances, workshops and concerts. Conference presentations discuss the issue of changes that have taken place under the influence of technological and scientific development in the arts and culture of the past decades. ”

We are at a time when technology is ceasing to be an area of research separate from art, culture or science and is clearly becoming strongly connected and even united with everyday human experience. This post-technological reality necessitates a redefinition of the classic categories of body, subjectivity and space, as well as affect, emotion, interaction or communication. Human experience is being ever more visibly expanded by sensual, perceptual and cognitive aspects, both technologically generated and scientifically constructed. At the same time, the causative functions of art are changing. Artistic, interdisciplinary practice heavily relays on scientific research for inspiration while simultaneously being a mediator between laboratory experiments and their possible social implementations.”
” Artistic practice, often organised in teams which include artists, engineers, scientists, researchers in social sciences and the humanities, also becomes one of the most important spaces for projecting critical thinking on the social debate concerning the real impact of science on different spheres of life. ”
” Post-technological experience is part of the Sensorium project by Rafał Zapała, in which the artist created an installation in the form of an interactive neuro-instrument. The conference will also exhibit the works based on the paradigm of art&science: Auralroots by Jill Scott, who continues her research in the area of neuromedia, On the silver globe by Paweł Janicki and WROCenter Group andOpportunity by Przemyslaw Jasielski. ”
” The project is curated and realized by Agnieszka Jelewska and Michał Krawczak, the founders of the Humanities/Art/Technology Research Center “operating at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan.
