Radical Reversibility - Seeing without a Seer Symposium
21 September 2018

‘Seeing without a Seer’ is an exhibition and accompanying symposium that explores alternative ways of looking, thinking and image-making. The symposium is conceived of as a cooperative, imaginative and speculative exercise comprising a series of lectures, visual case-studies and conversations. During the symposium artists and researchers will present their work and ideas. They draw on a wide variety of disciplines - psychology, biology, geometry and philosophy – to seek counterstrategies to our habits of visual representation in a post-digital age. The symposium will question the anthropocentric and dualistic character of visual media and further explore the themes of the exhibition.

The programme is organised by Radical Reversibility, a research based art cooperative that seeks to develop the visual and conceptual strategies that radically reverse the paradigms of our contemporary visual culture.
