The Dematerial seminars have been commissioned by Arts Council England and University College Falmouth to address the ways the arts sector is changing. Developments in information and communications technology are affecting the way people think and behave and are impacting on their expectations as cultural producers and consumers. Through a series of critical debate sessions the Arts Council aims to equip itself and the sector with the knowledge and understanding to adapt and respond to these changes. Speakers include: Lise Autogena, Ele Carpenter, Ruth Catlow, Tom Corby, Geoff Cox, Charlotte Frost, KMA, Kate Rich, Clare Reddington, Patrick Simons and Helen Sloan. Geoff Cox (DUL) will presenting at the Bristol event that aims to draw out some of the key issues and conflicts between art and commerce within the realm of the digital.

Aesthetics in a Time of Emergency

26 and 27 May, University of Plymouth, UK, http://www.plymouth.ac.uk/pages/dynamic.asp?page=events&eventID=5283&showEvent=1
http://www.plymouth.ac.uk/pages/dynamic.asp?page=events&eventID=5283&showEvent=1

Organised by KURATOR/Art & Social Technologies research (K/AST) and Culture Theory Space research groups at the University of Plymouth, the symposium examines the relational aesthetics paradigm that proposes new participatory relations between spectators, rather than between a spectator and the art object. Questions include: Can a sociable art take a political turn? How do new technologies of sociability address this? How does art or theory address global issues such as climate change and social division? Is there a viable aesthetic for today's time of emergency? Speakers include: David Butler (Newcastle University), Helen Evans (HeHe, Paris), Alana Jelinek (University of Cambridge), Nicola Kirkham (University College London), Malcolm Miles (University of Plymouth), Christoph Schäfer (Park Fiction, Hamburg), and Geoff Cox (DUL).
