Michael Century: Extraordinary Freedom Machines: Vignettes in the History of a Multimedia Century
Tuesday, November 29, 12 PM
FREE In the final installment of this three-part lecture series, Rensselaer professor Michael Century presents a fresh reading of today's experimental media art scene by surveying key works, personalities and movements of the past century and laying out a framework for forecasting its future. III. Virtuality to Virtuosity, 1974–2011, moves beyond what some have termed the crisis of new media art today—its relegation to "cool obscurity" by the institutional art world, and its simultaneous co-option by the information industries—by sketching out an anti-anti-utopian view of the potential of experimental artworks as "extraordinary freedom machines." Evelyn's Café will be open from 11:30 AM to 2 PM for Eat Local Lunch.
