Symposium @ZHDK: In Time? Encounters in temporality

Symposium "In Time? Encounters in temporality", 29 - 30 November 2024 (live at ZHDK and also online participation possible) To be in time - for meetings, events, or transportation - appears to be just one of the demands of everyday-life. And there is no doubt: If we meet, we do so at the same time. But do we actually share a temporal understanding of this moment? While some temporalities appear to be given by certain planetary conditions, others might have been established by infrastructure, narratives or cosmologies. By drawing attention to, commenting on, and possibly also intervening in temporal settings, the arts connect to such situations on the one hand. On the other hand, art and design practices establish temporal spaces where they are distributed, performed or exhibited. Contributions from contemporary music, art and design as well as theoretical perspectives from anthropology, media theory, and sociology will draw on the (re-)production and imagination of time, but also think about alternative concepts and possible interventions in temporal structures. The whole program will be accessible via zoom. MORE INFORMATION AND WHOLE PROGRAM ON OUR WEBSITE.
