About the Screening:
Artists Kit Galloway and Sherrie Rabinowitz once envisioned telecommunication networks and information commons – what we now call videoconferencing and the World Wide Web – as a liberating force for communities, fostering creativity and open dialogue beyond the constraints of time and space. In a conversation inspired by the legacy of Electronic Cafe International, we will explore the evolution of telepresence (from the 1970s onwards) in connection to contemporary socio-political challenges, reflecting on the role of artivism in today’s world.
Time: June 15th, 7-9 pm PDT
