In the current winter semester, the subject area of art will be continuing the Silo Talks at Paderborn University. The series will be opened on Thursday, 7 January, by Dr Jens Birkmeyer. In his lecture, the cultural and literary scholar from the University of Münster will focus on image and text constellations in the work of Alexander Kluge. The event, which will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. in room S1.100, will be moderated by Prof Dr Sabiene Autsch, who conceived the Silogespr?che together with Prof Max Schulze. All interested parties at the university, especially students of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, are cordially invited to attend. The silo talk will take place in person. It will also be possible to join in digitally via Zoom.
Together with artists and academics from various genres and disciplines, this semester will focus on practices of (aesthetic) collecting and storing biographical memorabilia and everyday fragments. The question of specific transformations into encyclopaedic formats such as collections, archives or exhibitions is also central to this. In addition, it will also address how it is possible to deal with digital and, increasingly, AI-generated materials aesthetically, artistically and scientifically with a view to their future long-term availability. Further information can be found on the Silogespr?che website.
