[rohrpost] conference: Taboo – Transgression – Transcendence in Art and Science (TTT2020 Vienna online), November 26-28, 2020

[Ingeborg Reichle]

International Conference on Art & Science

Taboo – Transgression – Transcendence in Art and Science (TTT2020
Vienna online)

November 26-28, 2020

In 2020 the 4th international conference Taboo – Transgression –
Transcendence in Art and Science will take place online from November
26-28, hosted by the University of Applied Arts Vienna, supported by
Ionian University, InArts Lab, Intellect Books, Universidad Nacional
Autónoma de México, Arte+Ciencia. TTT2020 is including theoretical and
art practice presentations and continues to focus: (a) on questions
about the nature of the forbidden and aesthetics of liminality as
expressed in art that uses or is inspired by technology and science;
(b) on the opening of spaces for creative transformation in the
merging of science and art.

What constitutes the unstable limits of what can be morally and
epistemically accepted should be read within the historical horizons
of cultures and circumstances. After all, what seems outrageously
transgressive at one moment in time and from one perspective may
eventually transcend into a commonplace practice. As we experience and
even endorse a gradual, but substantial, de-centering away from
anthropocentric values and ontologies, potentially critique harbours
turmoil. Art practices pose critical questions about our certainties;
sciences and humanities constantly test our limits and our ideas of
worlds by pushing forward the conditions in which knowledge is produced.

Developments in science and technology, that seem to enhance the
borders of our experience of worlds and selves, revealing sometimes
the fragility of social values, should be interrogated. Identities,
ideologies, multiplicities, worlds, and visions are accepted and
rejected, invented and destroyed; what are the forces behind and
beyond? We propose critique within a transdiscipline, where science,
arts, and humanities meet in a research quest, in an attempt at
reframing and reconfiguring what there is.

The up-coming conference will be a meaningful contribution to 21
Century approaches towards art, science and technology. The three day
conference Taboo - Transgression - Transcendence in Art and Science
will start on November 26, 2020 at 8:30 AM CET with a warm welcome to
TTT2020 Vienna/Online by the organizing committee: Dalila Honorato

Giannakoulopoulos (Ionian University, Corfu).
