PROGRAM:

10:00

From the Panorama to Virtual Reality and The Return of the Real 

Eamon O´Kane. 
In his presentation Professor O´Kane will compare developments in new and old technologies such as the 19th century panorama and the development of virtual reality. He will discuss how the questions raised in Hal Foster’s Return of the Real are more pressing than ever for contemporary visual culture in order to counteract Jean Baudrillard´s predictions of a post-apocalyptic hyperreality which has developed exponentially with the growth of social media and other digital platforms. 

11:00

Affording Time 
Trond Lossius 
The psychologist James J. Gibson introduced the term ’affordance’ to describe what the environment offers us. In interaction design ’perceived affordance’ is the quality of an object that suggests how it might be used. Drawing on the ambient thinking, music and audio-visual installations by Brian Eno as well as his own works, Trond Lossius will discuss how time can be afforded in installations, inviting the audience to a deeper and more prolonged engagement with the works.
