Alenka Gregorič, Art Director and Curator of the City Art Gallery Ljubljana, will give a presentation at the Center on Tuesday, November 26th, at 18:00. For the past two years the City Art Gallery Ljubljana and the Center for Digital Art have been operating an exchange residency program. Gregorič will introduce the gallery, and focus on the exhibition Amuse me,she curated, that deals with the question "How television is creating our perception of the world". Dr. Noam Yuran, a philosopher and researcher of popular culture, will comment on her presentation.

 

The starting point of the discussion is the basic proposition of Neil Postman’s "Amusing Ourselves to Death": the possibility that Huxley, not Orwell, was right. Instead of Orwell’s Big Brother, the metaphor for omnipresent control and censorship and the individual’s lack of power, Huxley posits that a surfeit of information turns people into passive consumers of information who eventually stop thinking altogether.

The talk will be conducted in English.

Entrance is free of admission!
