ACT Lecture| Gloria Sutton: Playback: Broadcast Experiments 1970 and Now
Presented by MIT Program in Art, Culture and Technology (ACT) April 2, 2012 In the 1970s, broadcast television, cable, and even satellite transmissions were considered viable outlets for visual artists to experiment, tamper, and often times, spectacularly fail with, all the while engaging in a generative model of art production. This talk focuses on the institutionalization of media art with a particular emphasis on the Long Beach Museum of Art’s prescient move to set up a media art center and commission artists to create a broadcast channel to distribute...

ACT Lecture| MIchael Corris: What Do Artists Know? Contemporary Responses to the Deskilling of Art
Presented by MIT Program in Art, Culture and Technology (ACT) February 13, 2012 Some contemporary art is profoundly engaged with the world in ways that go beyond interpretation. We seem to be in the midst of a cultural moment where the instrumentalization of art has never been more widely accepted among artists. Whether such artistic practices seek to work across disciplines like science or sociology, or aim to intervene positively in the social and cultural life of communities, the artists involved may be said to hold in common the belief that there is a real advantage...

ACT Lecture| Michael Eng: Sound and Semiocapitalism: Affective Labor and the Metaphysics of the Real
Presented by MIT Program in Art, Culture and Technology (ACT) April 23, 2012 This talk will analyse the sonic and affective turns that have appeared relatively recently in both contemporary art practice and current critical thought from the standpoint of what Franco ‘Bifo’ Berardi has termed “semiocapitalism.” Though the attention to sound and affect is typically held to be a remedy to the excesses of the past few decades (occularcentrism, the preoccupation with discursivity, and the persistence of form, to name but a few), affect is precisely...
