SATURDAY, 6th NOVEMBER
Regional Museum of Natural Science – Conference Hall, lower ground floor
>>>11 AM Dialogue with Fulvio Gianaria and Gianluigi Ricuperati
We live in the era of the risk society, having moved from the issue of wealth redistribution to the issue of risk sharing, defined as a systematic way of dealing with hazards and insecurities induced and introduced by modernisation itself. What are the consequences for culture and creativity?

>>>12 PM Dialogue with Antonio Caronia and Caden Manson
The director and founder of New York’s Big Art Group talks to Antonio Caronia, new media theorist and expert in cyberpunk, about our information age, where errors, glitches and signal interruptions have become marketing strategies that lay bare the “media-ization” of our world.

>>>2 PM Conference with Edoardo Bonaspetti, Chiara Figone, Salvatore Iaconesi, Giorgio Maffei, Oriana Persico and Dario Salani Art Publishing 2.0: Next Steps Publishing. Moderated by Simona Lodi
New scenarios in art publishing, sweeping across crossmedia publishing, free-press, self-publishing, print on demand, ebooks, augmented reality, multi-authorship and ubiquitous publishing – software layered upon paper, making pages clickable, expandable and interactive. As the book explodes, the scattered pieces create new forms of expression, new ways of publishing and writing about the world.

>>>5 PM Keynote Speech by Jurij Krpan The Difference Between Experiment and Investigation in Contemporary Art.
Does contemporary art have the power to critique the socially-accepted role of art and culture? Taking this question as his cue, the curator of the Kapelica Gallery in Ljubljana argues for the importance of less successful art projects that investigate the frontiers and limits of artistic expression.

>>>6 PM Lectio Magistralis and Performance by Stelarc Circulating Flesh: From Third Life to Real Life.
We are living in an age of excess and indifference. Of prosthetic augmentation and extended operational systems. . An age of Organs Without Bodies. Of organs awaiting bodies. Bodies are phantoms. Flesh is circulating. The body acts with indifference. An indifference that allows the body to be suspended with hooks into its skin, that allows an inserting of a sculpture into its stomach and that allows an ear to be surgically constructed and stem-cell grown on its arm. Perhaps what we need now is not a Second Life but rather a Third Life. This Australian artist, renowned with international audiences for the unbridled use he makes of his body, is a cybernetic nomad. Stelarc presents his latest project The Ear On Arm, where the architecture of the human body is engineered with an artificial ear.
Regional Museum of Natural Science – Second Floor, lounge zone
>>>8 PM encounter with Salvatore Iaconesi and Oriana Persico, authors of REFF.
