Silo talks "Col­lect­ing lust and flood of im­ages"

Location: Digital

In the current winter semester, the subject area of art will be continuing the Silo Talks at Paderborn University. On Thursday, 7 January, the Cologne artist Claus Richter will be our guest. The event, conceived by Prof Dr Sabiene Autsch and Prof Max Schulze, will take place digitally via Zoom from 6 to 8 pm. All interested parties at the university, especially students of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, are cordially invited to attend. 

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.
