Event
inVISIBLE. Algorithms as interfaces
Between Art and Science
Sat, October 30 – Sun, October 31, 2004
- Location
- Media Theater
Computer technologies, mathematical methods, algorithmic procedures, machine-assisted evidence and imaging methods, structuralism, post-structuralism and visual and media studies have completely changed the way in which visual information is handled. Linguistic, visual and acoustic images are no longer created by artists. On the contrary, the 21st century world of images stems from medicine, physics, mathematics, astronomy, biology and neurology. Science can no longer operate without imaging methods and it relies on the interpretation of visual measuring data.
The symposium will examine the influence exerted on perception by algorithms as interfaces between art and science. Why do we recognise something we can designate in the structure of systematically arranged nanoparticles; what are the grounds for such an assessment? How is the algorithmic revolution changing the image of science and art? In short, it is a question of what we really see and hear, and what we always thought we were seeing and hearing.
