TRANSMEDIA ARTS
SPEAKER: Carmen Gil Vrolijk, Associate Professor, Department of Art, Universidad de Los Andes, Colombia
The last couple of years redefined the way performing arts live. Trapped behind small screens, artists stopped moving, and the shared time/space experience was lost. How did we cope with this? What did we have to say? Did we learn something from all this technology? Drawing on La Quinta del Lobo’s own research and artistic production, this lecture explores the place where media and contemporary art intersect the theater experience and invert the way performing arts are built today.
