Bright Collisions Symposium 2012

As part of the 8th edition of the TodaysArt festival, the three-day symposium entitled ‘Bright Collisions’ will take place at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. During the symposium, the audience, artists and professionals from various backgrounds will discuss a range of contemporary and urgent topics in which art, technology and society meet and exert forces on each other.

The participants will look at what art can contribute to society in a time when the forms, values and relations of creative and technological media are being reinterpreted. In order to create a cohesive view on these developments, the subjects will be approached from various scientific, social, historical and artistic perspectives, on both a practical as well as a theoretical level. With the symposium we touch upon a series of topics that will give us space for discussion and information exchange.
