Aarti Sunder: Images, their Objects and what lies between them
This lecture will focus on the entanglements of images, stories and their objects. How they support each other, will each other into existence in a manner similar to a graph, or a map or a plot. We will think through online platforms, the deep sea, the cosmic – from infraearth to extrasky – rather than be content with saying everything is connected, we will think of networking sensors that oscillate between transparency and opacity.
Aarti Sunder is an artist living and working in India (Chennai). She works with moving image, writing and drawing.
