TransformArt:
TRANSFORMATIONS IN THE PERCEPTION OF TIME AND ART
Dates: 6/10–8/12 2025
The main theme of this autumn’s TransformArt course is temporality in art. We’ll explore how art engages with time, and how it is transformed by shifting perceptions of time—particularly in connection with new technologies.
We’ll also examine whether new media truly push traditional art forms into the background and consider the transient nature of collaborative art practices. Another topic will be the ethical implications of using AI in contemporary art and institutional practice.
The course will look at alternative understandings of time in video games and, more broadly, the complex relationship between society and technology. It will build on the exhibitions Alice Bucknell: Persistent Worlds and Roman Ondak: The Day After Yesterday, which we’ll explore with the artist ahead of the official opening.
The course will be conducted entirely in Czech.
