I DON’T KNOW WHERE I’M GOING BUT I WANT TO BE THERE
The image in the age of visual obesity

The symposium signals emergent forms of the visual culture that surrounds us and inhabits us. How do we deal with the ubiquitous presence of images and image versions? It questions the nature of the so-called culture of attention, and looks at the way it influences and shapes the way we work, live and think today. How does our visual culture work, and what are its hidden dynamics? Which new tools and territories are emerging out it? How do images mediate between us and the world? How disruptive is the imagery that is evolving from actual geopolitical shifts? Which possibilities does the age of configurability have to offer to the image? And how can visual literacy contribute to our understanding of today’s culture? To address these questions, the symposium brings together an expert crowd from the fields of design, art, journalism, neurobiology, fashion, literature and film. The symposium will address different functions of the image today: the image as a social agent, as a biological process, as the playground of our imagination, as a cultural criticism and as a revolutionary power.
