Construção de um index #: art and technology come together
Having witnessed the birth of index in 2019, this year Braga will receive a set of sessions entitled construção de um inex, an event that will bridge the first edition of index - Bienal de Media Arts, to take place in 2021.
The 2019 edition was a zero edition, but this year index will not fail to follow us, with multiple perspectives on art and technology through a series of debates. There will be several sessions, the first will take place on the 29th of this month and will allow us to think about the relationship between art, science and technology and the role of error in the context of artistic and technological processes through two roundtables; inaugurate a new work on the Scale Travels series by German Marcel Weber (MFO) and present an audiovisual show by Canadians Push 1 Stop & Wiklow.
Round Table # 1 - Art, Technology and Science: New Paths and Value Production
with Marcel Weber (artist), Jana Nieder (scientist) and João Ribas (curator), moderated by Fernando José Pereira (artist and teacher)
What unites and separates these three concepts? This panel aims to discuss potential new avenues for the already long relationship between art, technology and science, and to reflect on how artists and scientists can derive mutual benefit from joint processes, even though they are linked to substantially different contexts. The issue will be discussed through the perspective of artists, curators and a scientist.
Roundtable # 2 - Error in the context of technological and creative processes
with Elie Blanchard (artist), Salomé Lamas (filmmaker) and Karin Ohkebschager (curator), moderated by Miguel Carvalhais (artist and teacher)
The opening of Index was marked by an episode in which a technological error prevented the performance of a show. This same error now serves as a starting point for a discussion of error in the context of artistic and technological processes. Disaster or improvement opportunity? Accident or tool? The issue will be discussed through the perspective of artists and curators with different backgrounds.
