Intermediality: Exploring Relationships in Art. 16 November 2013
Speakers Katrina Sluis, Peter Ride, Sean Cubitt & Marc Garrett This symposium uses the term 'intermediality' - the combination of diverse media and references - as a point of departure to a discussion of the artistic appropriation of digital images and environments and their combination with traditional media. Particularly, the term sets the stage for a discussion of the political consequences of this practice. As the media scholar Jens Schröter argues, they can be interpreted in two central ways. On the one hand, Rosalind Krauss sees intermediality as a form of 'capitulation to the capitalist spectacle'; on the other, it is viewed as defamiliarising ordinary experiences of media (McLuhan), abolishing the separation between art and life and pointing to the future overcoming of the division of labour (Higgins). Up to what extent are traditional art historical discourses about the medium still relevant to analyse the use of digital images, environments and methods in contemporary art practices? What degrees of audience implication do they demand? Curated by ICA Student Forum member Mafalda Dâmaso.
