The 2021 Max Wasserman Forum: Another World brings together artists, educators, and writers at the forefront of discourses on art in the digital realm to share their deep understandings and perspectives on digital media’s potential for more radical, imaginative, and limitless forms of cyber expressions.
This is the online reimaging of the Wasserman forum presenting two pre-recorded panels that look further into ideas of power and building with a particular interest in the merging and fluidity between the human and artificial experience, and contemplating what is humanity now in light of our current climate, and culminating in a live closing keynote.
About Another World
The Forum consists of a series of two pre-recorded online panel discussions What are we Building? and What are the Barriers? and will culminate with a live stream closing address by Berlin-based filmmaker and visual artist Hito Steyerl on April 10.
Parallel Program
The MIT Center for Art, Science & Technology presents the 2021 Symposium Unfolding Intelligence: The Art and Science of Contemporary Computation from April 1–9, 2021.
