Event, Signal, Affect. The 'Signaletic' Event in Art, Culture and Politics

Conference-Colloquium, Aarhus University, June 12 &14, 2010, ADA 
building, room 333.

This conference-colloquium at the Humanistic Faculty, Aarhus University, 
will relate to the widespread use of the concepts event and/or affect in 
contemporary research of media, art, philosophy, politics and culture. 
It is the aim to qualify, explore and investigate the scope of the terms 
event and affect in different analytical fields. We assume that the 
renewed focus on event and affect is partly due to the impact of new 
(electronic and digital) media and the new forms of immediacy created by 
real-time control and transmission.
The conference will therefore investigate two key issues: 1) How can we 
describe event and affect on philosophical, artistic, political and 
cultural levels? 2) Has a new paradigm of the signal – related to the 
bypassing of representation in real-time transmissions – superseded the 
sign? What characterizes the signal?

By combining these questions the conference wants to initiate a broader 
discussion on a paradigmatic transformation from sign to signal in 
relation to the concepts of event and affect and their use and scope in 
art, politics and culture.
