INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE :
TELE → VISIONS: TECHNOLOGIES OF UBIQUITY IN THE VISUAL ARTS, 19TH-21ST CENTURIES
ORGANISED BY IMAGO Cultures visuelles
(INHA, PARIS, 3–4 OCT 23)
The international symposium Télé—Visions, organised by the association IMAGO Cultures visuelles brougth together a body of recent work on the influence of emission, transmission and reception technologies in the visual arts and visual culture, from the 19th century to the present. Beyond the medium of television itself, the plural “tele-visions” refers to the variety of remote viewing and image transmission techniques which, from semaphores to wireless telegraphy and up to fiber optics and contemporary networks, have configured new models for the circulation and transmission of images.
Dialoguing with the history of science and technology as well as with media archaeology, the contributors to the conference will explore broad topics such as the joint evolution of perceptual regimes and remote transmission techniques, the modalities of “prosthetic vision,” the material effects of image transmission and the spatio-temporal issues inherent to network dynamics.
