Intersubjectivity: media metaphors, play & provocation, Budapest

C3 in cooperation with Goethe-Institut Budapest, Mûcsarnok and the Intermedia Department of the Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts, will present the 6th International Vilém Flusser Symposium and series of related events, entitled "Intersubjectivity: media metaphors, play & provocation," from March 15 - 19, 1997, in Budapest, Hungary. Our aim is to continue the discussion of the theoretical work of Vilém Flusser and to demonstrate the importance of his writings regarding the European, in particular Hungarian, context. Invited international and Hungarian speakers will present lectures dealing with the elements of provocation and play, key concepts of Flusser's oeuvre, and on media metaphors and intersubjectivity, as well as drawing parallels to the recent theoretical media issues of our region.
The two-day symposium held at Mûcsarnok will be accompanied by an exhibition of works by Hungarian artists reflecting on Flusser, presented in the ExplorationLab, media gallery of C3. Over two evenings, public events at Goethe-Institut Budapest will also expand upon the works of Flusser. There will also be multimedia presentations by Hungarian artists and media experts, as well as the presentation of two Hungarian translations of Flusser's works.
