This Thursday our Doctoral Seminar will host Liina Keevallik, who will speak on the topic of "Cloud Opera through the prism of creativity-based research. Looking for media archaeological issues from the clouds" in room M-136.

Abstract: 
Cloud Opera or The Dido Problem (Vaba Lava, Tallinn, Feb-Mar 2019), created in collaboration between Vaba Lava and MEDIT (Tallinn University), is a performance questioning the human condition under a sky full of data. It combines man-made data clouds with real atmospheric clouds and suggests that the first are just as unpredictable and uncontrollable as the latter. Liina Keevallik, the author and the scenographer, observes the relations between theory and creation and attempts to detect potential media archaeological 鈥渇indings鈥 from the scenic elements.
