Cross-disciplinary seminar of DEM'ARTS
The seminar will examine the place of digital technology in the development of the arts from a pragmatic angle, and will consider digital art within a perspective of shared experience. The idea is to study the evolution and democratization of the arts through the digital environment, as well as its effects and risks in various cultural fields: plastic arts (visual and non-visual), dance, theater, music, architecture, design, cinema, photography, performance... By transcending traditional dichotomies (theory/practice, knowledge/technology, action/idea, fact/value, body/spirit), the aim is to develop a concrete approach to the relationship between the arts, philosophy, and the digital.
