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
