The conference is open to the public and is in english and french.

“In this talk, we will introduce our individual research and collaborative projects through the recurring notion of “site”. Since their historical emergence in the 1960s, site-specific practices and discourses have become a normative framework and a standard of evaluation for any artistic gesture. Constructed as a practical and conceptual tool that once aspired to artistic and political emancipation, it now seems to work toward further alienation. This notion of “site”, which reemerged in many threads of contemporary discourses (“the plot”, “the platform”, “the Stack” ...), will be discussed both as a tool to unlock contemporary political dead ends and as a hinge in a revised history of the relations between art and rationality.”
