[ecrea] The Image of the Network - June 16, 2015 - Symposium at Winchester School of Art, University of Southampton

*The Image of the Network, Symposium*

*
*

Organised at the Winchester School of Art, University of Southampton by
Yigit Soncul and Jussi Parikka

/Tuesday June 16, 2015/

Rotunda (East Building)


*The*//*Image of the Network*//is a one day symposium that explores the
connection between aesthetics, politics and technology. New technologies
of addressing the involuntary aspects of human cognition open up the
topics of both affective design and new modes of preemptive
surveillance. The double logic of security and commerce is an effective
context in which the contemporary platforms of design and aesthetics are
to be understood, at the centre of the so-called control society, as
posited by French philosopher Gilles Deleuze.

This agenda opens up issues of surveillance, anticipatory logic of
networks and art practices important to this technological
infrastructure. The aim of the event is to problematise and initiate a
debate on the contemporary politics of embodiment and visuality through
such themes of network politics. The topics map the definitions of the
image in an age that is characterised by concepts such as contagion,
immunity, affect, the involuntary, preemption and premediation.


*Registration*: The event is free and open to all, but booking is
