February - June, 2021
Online event
The ICOG theme group Arts, Medium and Moving Images at the University of Groningen concentrates on the production, aesthetics, reception and impact of film and other contemporary audiovisual screen media. Our focus is on the philosophical, cognitive and phenomenological relation between audiovisual art and its audience; social, technological and artistic developments in the field; historiographical, epistemological and ontological questions regarding media objects and practices; and the mediality and materiality of artworks. The theme group organizes multiple lectures every semester for the academic community in Groningen and beyond. Lecturers include both local and international scholars from the field of Film and Media Studies.
