Art, Technology, and Self

Principal Investigator Sherry Turkle


Today, art becomes an invaluable space when it adapts the means of production available for science and engineering for artistic purposes. It borrows and critiques the methods of these disciplines while making evocative objects. Discussion topics: We would like to initiate a platform to speak on: Art as an expression or exploration of the body and the self; art as a critique of the contemporary human condition; art which exposes ethical, social, political conflicts and questions the birth of the so called post-human.
