FLUX is a forum for artistic discourse, conceptual exchange and lively discussion about key concepts in the today's media arts practice. With the Talks program at ART IN FLUX, we aimed to bring this discourse to the wider public:
Over the 3 days, the public was invited to explore key concepts of Media Arts produced in the UK right now. With the FLUX talks we wanted to present an eclectic mix of artistic practices, conceptual discourses and the dense environments Media Arts are operating in. All these talks were open for ART IN FLUX visitors and we invited them to actively take part in shaping the discussions they offer.
