[Lecture] Our Non-Understanding of Everything

Our Non-Understanding of Everything [Artistic Lecture and Video Screening]

 

The interdisciplinary art collective eteam from New York has long been dedicated to digital media, installation art, and community engagement projects. They are adept at using various mediums such as video, participatory installations, etc. to explore the contradictions and coexistence between human senses and technological advancements, while continually addressing cultural, social, and environmental issues.

 

Since 2022, eteam has been developing a video series titled Our Non-Understanding of Everything. By observing everyday events and exploring the potential future forms of digital devices and their components, the series investigates how contemporary architectural structures, semiconductors, and circuits can serve as modes of expression, reflecting issues of power hierarchies, cognitive processes, and the relationship between humanity and the natural environment.

 

This lecture will feature screenings of three selected works from the Our Non-Understanding of Everything series. After the screening, eteam will share their creative concepts and practical experiences, and invite participants to engage in a dialogue and exchange of ideas.
