SERIES WITH BERNARD STIEGLER

How can art contribute, through its research methodologies and its critical action, to generating alternative forms of interconnection technology?

In the first two sessions of this series, a working group of 15 people will discuss this question behind closed doors. According to the methodology that the participants themselves will have established, they will try to answer collectively and establish objectives for a future research group that will remain active throughout 2019. The workshop will be held in French, with simultaneous translation into Spanish. The sessions are free. They are limited to 15 participants and require advance enrolment. To take part, you can send an email to info@laescocesa.org including a paragraph of introduction and another about motivation. Reception open until 07/02.

The last session (14 February) will be open to the public. Bernard Stiegler will reflect on the role of local artistic communities.
