#Cycles: Online Launch Event on 25 January 2024
To celebrate the launch of the Autumn 2023_#Cycles issue, the NECSUS editorial board is hosting a virtual conversation on #Cycles on Thursday, 25 January 2024 from 17-18.15h (CET). The figure of the cycle – both technical and aesthetic – functions as an entry point for thinking about cultural and political significance of cyclicality, circularity and recursivity in contemporary media as well as media history. What broader cultural concerns are expressed through circular and recursive imagery? How are cyclical figures being re-evaluated, transvaluated perhaps, in this recent deluge of cyclical imaginaries? In a conversational format, Feng-Mei Heberer (New York University), Jernej Markelj and Daniël de Zeeuw (University of Amsterdam), Lydia Kallipoliti (The Cooper Union), Veronika Hanáková (Charles University Prague), Martin Tremčinský (Charles University Prague) and Jiří Anger (Queen Mary University of London), and Gert-Jan Harkema (University of Amsterdam) will introduce their contributions to the issue and contextualise the significance of #Cycles for their work.
The event will take place on Zoom (https://uva-live.zoom.us/j/89557332195). Please register through this form.
