I\u2019m intrigued by the study of ghosts. Ghosts come from libraries. It\u2019s the book you read and that you remember; ideas you thought you had forgotten. The ghost is the re-read, the re-seen, the forgotten. <\/em><\/div>\n
Philippe Parreno<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In 1998 Site held an exhibition called Star-Dot-Star<\/a><\/em> which itself looked back to an exhibition at the ICA in 1968 called Cybernetic Serendipity<\/em><\/a> which was heralded as one of the first exhibitions to incorporate art and technology. 2018 is a 20 and 50 year loop from these exhibitions and a moment when Site is also looking to the archive in preparation for the 40th year of the organisation in 2019.<\/p>\n

Chaired by Jeanine Griffin, Site\u2019s current PhD researcher, speakers include Antony Hudek on another key exhibition in relation to technology: Les Immateriaux, 1985, and David Morris of Afterall\/ Central St Martin’s who runs an exhibition histories project.<\/p>\n

Antony Hudek is a Belgium based curator and director of the Curatorial Studies postgraduate programme at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts (KASK) of University College Ghent.<\/p>\n

David Morris is a writer, researcher and educator. He is an editor of Afterall journal (Central Saint Martins, London) and managing editor of Afterall\u2019s Exhibition Histories series, and teaches at University of the Arts, London.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
