Basic Admission Ticket: $15 Associates & Learners: Free of charge
In conjunction with our recent exhibition Bruno Munari: The Little one In, CIMA is hosting a speak by Prof. Lindsay Caplan about her not too long ago printed e book, Arte Programmata: Freedom, Handle, and the Computer in 1960s Italy.
In her e book, Lindsay Capalan explores how in postwar Italy, a group of visionary artists— Bruno Munari amongst them — utilised emergent computer system systems as both of those resources of artistic output and a means to reconceptualize the dynamic interrelation between person independence and collectivity. Arte Programmata traces the multifaceted techniques of these groundbreaking artists and their conviction that technology could provide the conditions for a liberated social everyday living.
Prof. Caplan will be in dialogue with CIMA Fellows Margaret Scarborough and Giulia Zompa.
Light-weight refreshments will be served.
