Nafiz Akşehirlioğlu

Presentation – 20 min

How to begin thinking about the components of our own intellectual-artistic engagement and investment in the reality of hybrid technological city, including the questions we pose, concepts we employ to describe, analyze or be inspired by its reality as artists, researchers, thinkers? Through short forays into widely used terms such as interaction, participation, plurality, virtuality, hybridity, multiplicity and interdisciplinary, I hope to make a beginning.
