June 16-18 | COST-Workshop Rethinking Materiality: Affect, Technology, and Art

Since the mid-nineties art and media theories have distanced themselves from critiques of representation and instead have embraced a new orientation towards an affective or ›materialist‹ view. Together with new ontological concepts pointing at pre- and non-human materiality and affections, digital technologies have built an infrastructural environment and have been a constitutive force for questioning fundamentally the status of matter and affect. These concepts form a new frame of engaging with art, fashion, film, and performance.
