Course description: The ambitious course on the twin concepts of ‘Solitude & Saturation’ is dedicated to their joint exploration. On that occasion, exceptional visionary thinkers and artists whose views tackle the ‘system of production,’ and question the combinations of life forms that emanate from it. In exploring zones where intelligence and instinct are one, what’s at stake at their intersection will be critically explored with, as the main backdrop, the experience of art as both a means of engaging in the world, and a tool of knowledge production, or research for criticism, beyond tangible objects, and ultimately for change.

Combining lectures and workshops together, and based on specific research methods using text, film, events, and narratives, that webinar will generate a vitalizing laboratory for self-discovery. Experience-oriented, its main articulations lie on case studies and intellectual frameworks that set the scene for a thought provoking reflection on current biopolitics conditions in the arts where social engagement, personal interests, and public intellectual work intersect.

Additional information: The course will be held online.
The webinar is divided into two types of sessions:
- the lectures (1 every two weeks, 1-2 hours)
- the workshops (2 h weekly, the weeks when there’s no lecture)
