Seminar: Art And Cybernetics
Speakers: Bager Akbay & Deniz Ikizler
Time: 6:00-7:30 pm
In a world where systems are seen as violent elements, the production of the system itself as an art object; The techniques and methods of image production have become easier, manipulating images have become a folk art, and the art object has turned into a system in a practice where the artist describes what he sees or imagines, as a natural result of systems being the only fixed objects that the artist observes. The artist abandons the production of images and produces systems as art objects.
