Last October, I was fortunate enough to attend Culture Action Europe's annual conference Beyond the Obvious in Timisoara, Romania, for 2 days of insightful talks, discussion and debate. With the title Ctrl+Shift HUMAN: Arts, Sciences and Technologies in Coded Societies, the conference interrogated the segregation of spheres in which ideas circulate online, the fragmentation of cultural digital content and the cultural and social effects of new global content platforms.
Across the conference, I was part of a team of rapporteurs alongside Cristina da Milano, president of ECCOM and Board member of Culture Action Europe; Andrea Carter, D6: Culture in Transit and Paula Graham-Gazzard, Director of Contemporary Visual Arts Network (CVAN), sharing my subjective reflections on the keynotes and breakout sessions. These reflections form part of a new conference publication, edited by Ramón Sangüesa from the University of Catalonia. Click here to read the publication.
