Description
The second symposium in the Viral Hallucinations series examines the transformative effect of digital technologies and social media on the perception of bodies – both one's own and that of others. The symposium brings together artistic, academic, and curatorial perspectives that engage with the politics of presence – both physical and online – and explores how tensions and frictions between human, sensory vision and machine vision are negotiated.How do digital imagery of notions of hybrid identities, political conflicts, and body images change our self-image, our presence in public spaces, and the way we move through them and share with others?
Who claims space, and whose presence, movements, and interactions are subject to the implicit or explicit forces of surveillance, censorship, othering, hate speech, rituals of evaluation, and the parameters of a regime of algorithmic visibility?
What continuities and ruptures of social sores and affective reactions can we observe in our daily rituals when navigating networked body images? What historical and systemic developments are behind this?
