Giuliana Bruno, Surface: Matters of Aesthetics, Materiality, and Media: from Antiquity to today

Theorist Giuliana Bruno spoke about how the physical appearance of surfaces holds deep meaning for us as they are part of cultural contexts established by architecture, visual art, cinema, and philosophy. Arguing against the prevailing association of surfaces with shallowness and superficiality, Bruno used examples such as faces and facades, as well as screen surfaces, to suggest that surfaces are carriers of information, history, and politics. Surfaces constitute a connective tissue, serving as meeting places, interfaces, sites of transformation, and intimacy. By their very nature, surfaces contain a depth of meaning. https://empac.rpi.edu/events/2015/giu...
