PATRICK JAGODA: WHAT ARE ARTWORKS FOR IN A NETWORKED TIME? Collective Collaborations and Practices of Failure in the Alternate Reality Game

MONDAY, OCT 20, 20146:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.

Social Science Research Building, Room 1221126 East 59th Street

Free and open to the public

What role do network aesthetics play in the form of “communicative capitalism”? Moreover, how can new media art belong to and intervene in the political situation of the early twenty-first century? This talk approaches these questions through Alternate Reality Games (ARGs), a rapidly growing form of experimental and networked games. Through collective interactions, difficult collaborations, and experiences of failure, ARGs use online and human networks to enable a greater understanding and potential transformation of publics in the present.

A workshop associated with Art and Public Life, a project of the Neubauer Collegium for Culture and Society.

Persons with disabilities who need an accommodation in order to participate in this event should contact the Neubauer Collegium for Culture and Society at collegium@uchicago.edu or 773.702.6030.
