17:00 at the Theory Stairs

How do we arrive at a critical and imaginative position with regard to this crisis and its long history that casts dark shadows far beyond the present? Which artistic strategies can be employed by cultural practitioners to engage and intervene? How to connect to the struggles and the movements of people who have been enduring and resisting these neo-colonial forces on a daily basis? How to learn from and with, and embrace alternative visions for this planet, beyond relations of property and extermination? Through the temporary masters programme Planetary Poetics, we want to connect different social ecologies across the globe and experiment with new possibilities of collective imagination, creation and intervention.

Technology Driven Art is an artistic research group at the Faculty of Arts at Zuyd University, dealing with the influence of technology on the Arts. Technology Driven Art organises practice based, artistic research projects into intermediality across all the Art departments, involving the Arts students of Zuyd University. In these , we stimulate an intuitive, critical or subversive use of new technologies in art creation by students. Our research strategy could be summarised as Thinking with your Hands. Technology Driven Art works in close collaboration with the artistic research centre ‘What Art Knows’ at the Faculty of Arts (Zuyd University).
