This conference seeks to enhance collegial and\nscholarly exch ange by bringing together a range of graduate\nstudents\, professors and a cademics from Canada and abroad.\nMedia@91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµ is proud to co-sponsor this event\nThis year's symposium will seek to interrogate the value and\nstat us of what is indiscernible to direct experience. From the rise\nof nanote chnologies on the one hand to the overwhelming size and\ncomplexity of glo bal systems and networks on the other\, artistic\,\ntheoretical and daily practices are confronted with realities that\nlie beyond immediate percept ion. Placed at the centre of artistic\npractice -- or even used as an inte rpretative prism for the tracing\nof lineages through the history of art - - the indiscernible offers\na valuable way of entry into discussions of th e invisible\, the\nblinding\, or that which lies beyond the realm of the s ensible at\nlarge. Similarly\, from the perspective of theoretical practic e\,\nopacity\, murkiness\, ambiguity\, and grey areas may be thought of as \nobstacles to knowledge\, yet we can also understand the\nindiscernible a s a necessary aspect of knowledge production. Thus\,\nwe may ask whether r evelation requires mystery\, or whether a will\nto action requires a poeti c yearning in the face of unfathomable\nconstraints.\nThe 2011 keynote lec ture will be presented by Dr. Brian Massumi\,\n'Sight Unseen: Perception's Self-Abstracting.'\nFor more details about the conference\, visit the web site at:\nhttp://www.ahcsgradconference.com/\n DTSTART:20110428T121500Z DTEND:20110428T230000Z LOCATION:Arts Building\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0G5\, 853 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:AHCS Conference: The Indiscernible URL:/channels/event/ahcs-conference-indiscernible-1740 11 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
