[MCN-L] Soon  7PM EST this evening! Considering Lightscapes

2020-11-11 Thread Matthew Whitman 
Hello everyone,

I hope you’re well :)

I warmly invite you to join us in just a few hours, LIVE via Zoom for
Considering.Art™ : Considering Lightscape, tonight 7- 8:00PM EST.

Registration is FREE and open to all:
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/considering-art-considering-lightscapes-registration-124955624637?aff=Tonight


Join us (in a couple of hours) NOV 11th 7-8PM EST for Considering
Lightscapes - led by Courtney. For this interactive tour, we will explore
the perceptual artwork of James Turrell. Using the mediums of light and
color, Turrell’s Lightscapes urge one to simultaneously look inwards,
outwards, and towards the sky. With his scientific and artistic visions,
light is transformed into a tangible mechanism for sight and used to create
spaces seemingly void of time, space, and location.

With our days filled with a constant stream of information and never-ending
notifications, what does it mean to immerse ourselves in pure and
distraction free lightscapes? How can light and color be a grounding
mechanism? How can we learn from Turrell’s use of immersion as a tool to
turn our mind inwards and apply it to other areas in life, to ultimately
more deeply and meaningfully connect us to the world?

We look forward to seeing you in just a couple of hours and thank you for
your continued support of our new, collaborative platform!

All the very best,
Matt

[MCN-L] Call for papers "Art, Museums and Digital Cultures" ​International Conference

2020-11-11 Thread Patricia de Sousa Melo 
Dear all,

I'm pleased to share the call for papers for  "Art, Museums and Digital
Cultures", an International Conference that will be held in Lisbon and
online, on 21-23 April 2021.

At a time of greater and ever deeper interest in the impact of information
technologies on contemporary society, the International Conference on Art,
Museums and Digital Cultures aims to provide a space for the discussion of
current issues and projects relating to the crossover between artistic
practices and the institutional sphere, with a particular focus on art
museums. How are museums, curators and the artists themselves responding to
the opportunities, but also the risks, of the so-called “digital
transformation”?


Recognising the complexity and plurality of digital cultures, the
conference will discuss recent or ongoing research works in different
geographies and cultural contexts.


We invite scholars, independent researchers, digital media specialists,
curators and artists to submit proposals for a 15-minute in-person or
online presentation, focusing on one or more of the conference topics.
