Planetary Media Symposium

Wed, Apr 8    10am

What is planetary media? Bridging space, time, and discipline, this symposium assembles scholars, artists, designers, and thinkers to examine the significant possibilities of representation in the climate crisis and the crisis of technological imagination. Rather than regard the planetary as an object to be grasped in its totality, the planetary is rather a condition and a partial, mediated perspective.

What new graphical, informational, and aesthetic potentials might arise from cross-contaminating medial techniques writ large across architecture, art, film, games, photography, and visual culture? What does it mean to ground acts of imaging, modeling, and rendering “the environment” as fundamentally material relations that bridge scales of perception, experience, and action? Adopting situated perspectives on technologies of representation, and asking many questions along the way, Planetary Media weaves critical relations between image and material, graphical and elemental, media and matter toward a renewed technological imagination of/in crisis, against the grain of extraction.

Speakers includes Tega Brain, Macarena Gomez-Barris, Gökçe Günel, Ainslee Alem Robson, Daniel Jacobs, John Palmesino, Ann-Sofi Rönnskog.
