Subject: [sudo-info] Screening at Gray Area (SF), June 15th, 7-9 pm; in person/virtually
To whom it may concern,
my name is Anastasia, I'm an art historian and a curator. Reaching out, I would like
to share information about the forthcoming screening focused on early telepresence and
invite you to join in person or virtually.
We are also open to collaboration of any kind: adding the event to your newsletter,
listings, etc. Please let me know if it resonates and what the next steps might be. Hope
to (e-)see you soon!
"Electronic Cafe International (1989-2000): Virtual Collaboration and Telepresence
Before the Web"
at Gray Area on June 15th, virtually and in person.
About:
Artists Kit Galloway and Sherrie Rabinowitz once envisioned telecommunication networks and
information commons – what we now call videoconferencing and the World Wide Web – as a
liberating force for communities, fostering creativity and open dialogue beyond the
constraints of time and space. In a conversation inspired by the legacy of Electronic Cafe
International, we will explore the evolution of telepresence (from the 1970s onwards) in
connection to contemporary socio-political challenges, reflecting on the role of artivism
in today’s world.
Time: June 15th, 7-9 pm PDT
Location:
*
in person at 2665 Mission Street, San Francisco, CA
*
virtually: Zoom link w/ticket RSVP.
