Encounters in Virtual (Display) Environments

When institutions digitize their exhibitions, should also analogue conventions be (re)produced? How do agreements and tacit rules translate into replication of (gallery) spaces, online (re)presentation of artworks, and (simulated) autonomy of access?

While approaching Google Arts & Culture from singular methodologies, Mireia c. Saladrigues and Mario Santamaría revolve around the (potential and non-potential) pitfalls, gaps, and epistemologies of encountering art in virtual environments. Saladirgues is also artist in the inaugural exhibition. Special guest Franco Bifo Scepsi Berardi.

Organised by Uniarts Helsinki’s Academy of Fine Arts

Future Stages/Stage Futures

The two-hour presentations & discussion session is proposed as a critical amplification of Vincent Roumagnac's artistic research project 'Backdrop' shown in the exhibition You Gotta Say Yes to Another Access. It is generated from the interest to diffract the research focus on expanded theatre and time ecology by discussing assumptions, perspectives and prototypes on the theme of 'Future Stages/Stage Futures', under the umbrella-topic of the Research Pavilion 'The Utopia of Access' and on the intersection of artistic research, performing arts, philosophy and architecture. The session will consist of two presentations and one collective exercise followed by an open discussion. By Vincent Roumagnac, Emmanuelle Chiappone-Piriou and Esa Kirkkopelto.

Organised by Uniarts Helsinki’s Theatre Academy.

Conception by Sami van Ingen

This unhinged and precarious spectacle is re-orchestration of a “cinematic event” and “the narrative” with the help of strips of found footage film and by using deconstructed elements of the cinematic projection process. This assemblage is combined with some live micro camera feed, which will slowly unravel itself.

Organised by Uniarts Helsinki’s Academy of Fine Arts.
