'Who's afraid of the public?'

This symposium explores the social, cultural and political challenges surrounding public participation in relation to social media


Despite all the yearning for new publics and the attempts to include ever wider and more diverse audiences, one has to suspect that these are mere gestures of inclusion driven by the desire to produce visitor numbers rather than constituting a public. If participation is the new spectacle, as Diedrich Diedrichsen once provocatively stated, how are we then to go beyond the given proliferation of art communication, mediation, and education? This symposium explores the social, cultural and political challenges surrounding public participation in relation to social media and examines the strategies and experiments that engage audiences within different rhythms and reflections in the public arena.

In collaboration with Reading University (in association with University of the Arts Zurich)
