| Time: | 2-3:30 p.m. |
| Description: | Attend a seminar led by Montreal-based artist Jon Rafman, who represents automated, "neutral" documentations of our world via Google Maps and conducts guided tours of Second Life, providing sociological glimpses at varied online subcultures.
Rafman often acts as a cyberspace anthropologist, performing exploratory ventures into areas of the Internet such as social media and web mapping sites. Through these almost curatorial efforts, Rafman questions ideas of privacy and surveillance and seeks, in a sense, to "humanize" digital media.
Each year, the Visiting Artists Program in the Department of Art and Art History brings internationally-known artists during fall semester to give lectures and seminars, and to meet with graduate students for critiques. |
