Criticism 2.0. Cultural communication in the age of the web
Today, the web provides everyone with the opportunity to communicate with anybody else, it floods us with an uninterrupted stream of information, and grants us access to a practically limitless archive. It hosts thoughtful communities that engage in discussions and create and spread content through new channels (from blogs to social networks) and with new methods. Yet homophily, the “death of the expert” and the dictatorship of Big Data are also spreading. Setting off from the speakers’ experience in different areas (visual and performing arts, books and publishing), and taking the specific features of each field into account, the talk will delve into the role of information in arts and culture, driven by the cultural and political need to spur critical thinking.
