Dieter Daniels , is this winter’s third guest in the ongoing TALK Series. A public lecture with him will be held at the Reykjavík Art Museum Hafnarhús on Tuesday 8th of April at 8pm. 

Audiovisualogy: hybridity of science, art, entertainment and business

Dieter Daniels, Professor at the Academy of Visual Arts (HGB) in LeipzigDaniels’ lecture is entitled Audiovisualogy: hybridity of science, art, entertainment and business and responds to exhibition Cadences of Line and Color, now on view at Hafnarhús.

The starting point for the lecture is the fact that our world of experience today is characterized by the omnipresence of audiovisual products and structures. Through digitization, the cultural production of images and sounds becomes part of a hybridization merging media technologies, art genres and market strategies. 

In the talk, Daniels’ will respond to this fact by presenting a historical frame of reference, making comparisons to contemporary techno-cultural developments. The lecture will demonstrate interrelations between the history of science and technology, perception studies and art- film- and music theory in audiovisual practices, since the 18th century.
