Agents in the Anthropocene
Piet Zwart Institute
Rotterdam, Netherlands
27 – 28 January 2017

The symposium will explore the role of the art and design fields as active agents within the discourse about the so-called ‘Anthropocene’. Special focus will be given to the notion of trans-disciplinary research – with its cross-pollination of art, science, design, media, ecology and different cultural disciplines – arising as part of the (critical) discussion about the Anthropocene. There will be other keynote presentations by Professor T.J. Demos, Professor Alastair Fuad-Luke, Frauke Huber and Uwe H. Martin.

Lise Autogena is a Professor of Cross Disciplinary Art at Sheffield Hallam University’s Cultural, Communication and Computing Research Institute. Find out more about Lise’s work here.
