The Electromagnetic Bride - conference
V2_Institute for the Unstable Media
in collaboration with Goethe Institut Rotterdam

Saturday May 6th, 10.00 - 17.00 (Central European Summer Time GMT+2)

The Electromagnetic Bride examines the contemporary relationships in the 
perception and actions of the human body and the global electromagnetic 
environment. Taking its cues from an intersection in the work of Nikola 
Tesla and conceptual contemporaries including Marcel Duchamp, Konrad 
Zuse and Robert Barry, the conference will examine how these 
relationships link the histories of electronic technological innovation 
to the context of current artistic practice.
