Event 27

Claire Bishop in conversation with Heiner Valdivia and Fernando Zvietcovich

What does it mean to look?

Alianza Francesa de Arequipa

In Artificial Hells, Claire Bishop (United Kingdom) followed the trail of artistic practices that discomfort, interrupt and reconfigure what we understand by seeing. Now, in Disordered Attention, in the context of an economy characterised by programmed distraction, she once again asks what it means to look. Her analysis dismantles the idea of pure contemplation and highlights the power of performance, dance and political interventions to mould a new type of perception: emotional, hybrid and shared. In conversation with Fernando Zvietcovich and Heiner Valdivia.

Simultaneous interpretation from English to Spanish available

The British Council publication Why Technology Needs Artists: 40 International Perspectives shows how innovation lead by artists not only boosts technological progress but also generates social and economic value, integrates cultural diversity and puts forward sustainable futures centered on human values where ancestral knowledge offers models of shared wisdom. From this dual economic and political perspective, this conversation with José Carlos Mariátegui will reflect on its potential as evidence for public policies, innovation plans and digital governance and will also address the role of copyright in the digital world from diverse knowledge systems.
