Future Past Tense is the launch event for the new research group at Winchester School of Art (WSA). Archaeologies of Media and Technology (AMT) is an office for theoretical and practice-based work in media, design and art in relation to both contemporary culture and cultural heritage.
Taking place at the WSA, Winchester East Building PhD Studio from 13:00 – 18:00 on 26 October 2016, free tickets can be booked via the Eventbrite page.
The event includes talks by some of the most interesting theorists and practitioners currently working in the field. The topics address media archaeology, art and curatorial work, and open up the question of how media theory situates itself in an art and design school context.
The talks explore historical perspectives on media art culture, but also problematize what we mean by history in a situation where temporal coordinates are as interestingly mixed and layered as are our geopolitical situations. The research group are interested in futures past, and past futures – in imaginaries of media and the technological conditions of art in contemporary culture.
The event is organised in collaboration with and is hosted by partner organisation, transmediale art and digital culture festival.
