Lunch Bytes (16) Medium: Photography

Sunday, 30 March 2014 Foam, Amsterdam Panel discussion with Susanne Holschbach (Professor at Berlin University of the Arts), Katrina Sluis (artist, writer, curator Digital Programmes Photographers' Gallery London), Anne de Vries (artist, Berlin/Amsterdam) Moderated by Marcel Feil (Deputy Director of artistic affairs Foam) and Melanie Bühler (curator Lunch Bytes) How do digital technologies affect the process of artistic production and creativity, as well as art’s traditional mediatic forms of expression – such as painting, sculpture, photography, video and performance? Digital techniques and tools have transformed traditional disciplines and blurred their external boundaries, while emerging new forms of artistic production reflect the increasing ubiquity of the digital in our daily lives. The first Lunch Bytes discussion in Amsterdam invites artists and experts who have worked with and written about photography to present and discuss their work in relation to traditional art historical disciplines and media, as well as the current digitisation of artistic practice. Moreover, the event invites to discuss the medium as an analytical entity, revisiting the concept of medium specificity and critically discussing notions like the "post-medium" condition. Does it still make sense to think in formal, media-related categories or have we moved beyond the medium as a recognisable and classifiable entity in the age of pervasive computing? Films, pictures, animations, and drawings are subject(ed) to the same digital operations, while the web has established a computational standard for multimedia documents in which text, images, and sounds converge. But if 'the medium', as a coherent concept or entity, is no longer relevant and we have indeed entered a post-medium era, then why are medium-related categories and distinctions still so prevalent? http://www.lunch-bytes.com/events/pas...
