\nSeason 15<\/p>\n

Series of public lectures<\/a><\/p>\n

Jennifer Allen: The Work of Art Criticism in the Digital Era<\/strong>
\nPublic lecture (in English language)
\nFriday, 4 September 2015, at 6 pm
\nProject Room, SCCA-Ljubljana, Metelkova 6, Ljubljana<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jennifer Allen will also hold the lecture on Thursday, 3 September 2015, at UGM | Maribor Art Gallery, Strossmayerjeva 6, Maribor.<\/p>\n

\n

The lecture will examine the questions: How has digitization impacted art criticism in particular and contemporary art in general?; and Why have judgements of taste increased in the digital sphere \u2013 in the form of “Likes” \u2013 but almost disappeared from art criticism in traditional media? The lecture will start with Walter Benjamin\u2019s\u00a0essay\u00a0“Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction”\u00a0and end with a consideration of the pivotal role of the image in contemporary digitized culture, from Instagram to the news. The lecture will be both performative and interactive: offering a chance to work together.<\/p>\n
