You are warmly welcome to a new exhibition in Dipoli Gallery opening Thursday 21st September at 17:00
The exhibition revisits the site of Les Immat茅riaux, a 1985 milestone 鈥渕anifestation鈥 curated by French philosopher Jean-Fran莽ois Lyotard and design theorist Thierry Chaput which explored an epistemological turn brought on by new computational technologies that will transform society and human relationship with the world.
The exhibition showcases an educational perspective to the research project Beyond Matter 鈥 Cultural Heritage on the Verge of Virtual Reality (2019鈥2023) encapsulated in the MA Fellowship Programme. The artistic assessment of the Programme lets us reflect on the complexities and advantages of transformative co-design collaborations as a potent direction for practice-based art and design research. In the interdisciplinary context of digital cultural heritage, it addresses the potential that designers and artists have in bridging different domains.
