Join us for the Monday Night Seminar featuring renowned artist Matt Nish-Lapidus at the Centre for Culture and Technology at the University of Toronto. This insightful artist talk will delve into Nish-Lapidus' diverse practice, exploring his creative processes and showcasing his captivating works-in-progress.
Nish-Lapidus is a multi-talented artist whose work spans various mediums, including installations, performances, publications, recordings, software, and objects. By examining contemporary technoculture, he challenges the notion that computers should solely be utilitarian, instead infusing them with beauty and artistic expression. His thought-provoking exploration of the histories, politics, and impacts of technology is as informative as it is visually striking.
The Centre for Culture and Technology, located in the historic Coach House building, is the perfect backdrop for this engaging seminar. Inspired by the intellectual legacy of Canadian media theorist Marshall McLuhan, the Centre fosters theoretical, aesthetic, and critical inquiry into the influence of contemporary media on our interconnected world. It serves as a hub for scholars working in humanistic media studies and supports the production and discussion of contemporary media art.
