▶︎ Chapter 1 – Hacktivisms
Thursday 6 October 2022 – 2.30 to 4.30 pm – Le Tambour (Université Rennes 2)
As part of the professional meetings of the Maintenant festival
The progressive digitalisation of our societies is bringing about profound changes in many aspects of our lives: access to information, knowledge, culture, changes in social and economic relations, etc. How do these changes alter the balance of power in the social field? What are the political implications? How do today’s artists view these changes and how do they use these technologies in their work to convey a political discourse and reveal their emancipating, alienating or subversive dimension?
Digital disobedience as a lever for political action?
The opening of this new theme will question the relationship between art and activism by showing artists who are “hacking” and who invite us to rethink, through art, our dependence on technology and our machine-based ecosystem.
