Art, Technology, & Culture Colloquium: Global Circulations
Berkeley’s Art, Technology, and Culture Colloquium is an internationally recognized forum for presenting new ideas that challenge conventional wisdom about art, technology, and culture. This series, free of charge and open to the public, presents artists, writers, curators, and scholars who consider contemporary issues at the intersection of aesthetic expression, emerging technologies, and cultural history, from a critical perspective.
ARC | Arts + Design is partnering with the Art, Technology and Culture Colloquium for the 2015/16 academic year. This year’s theme will focus on global circulations and will feature exciting talks by Vito Acconci, Julian Oliver, Hito Steyerl, Sarah Thornton, Adrien Segal, and UC Berkeley Professor Ron Rael. All lectures will take place on Mondays, at the Banatao Auditorium, Sutardja Dai Hall, on the UC Berkeley campus from 7:30-9:00pm.
