Intersubjectivity:
media metaphors, play & provocation 

6th international Vilém Flusser symposium & event series 
march 15-19 1997 budapest hungary 


C3, in cooperation with Goethe-Institut Budapest, Mûcsarnok (Kunsthalle
Budapest) and the Intermedia Department of the Hungarian Academy of Fine
Arts, will present the 6th International Vilém Flusser Symposium and series
of related events, entitled "Intersubjectivity: media metaphors, play &
provocation," from March 15 - 19, 1997, in Budapest, Hungary. Our aim is to
continue the discussion of the theoretical work of Vilém Flusser and to
demonstrate the importance of his writings regarding the European, in
particular Hungarian, context. Invited international and Hungarian speakers
will present lectures dealing with the elements of provocation and play, key
concepts of Flusser's oeuvre, and on media metaphors and intersubjectivity,
as well as drawing parallels to the recent theoretical media issues of our
region.

The two-day symposium held at the Mûcsarnok will be accompanied by an
exhibition of works by Hungarian artists reflecting on Flusser, presented in
the ExplorationLab, media gallery of C3. The official opening of the entire
series of events will coincide with the opening of the exhibition
"Reflections on Flusser" on March 15, 18:00, at C3. The symposium takes
place March 16-17, 10:00-19:00, at the Mucsarnok (Kunsthalle Budapest),
Torley Terem, at Hosok tere (Heroes Sq.). All lectures and discussions will
be simultaneously translated in Hungarian, English and German. Over two
evenings, public events at Goethe-Institut Budapest will also expand upon
the works of Flusser. There will also be multimedia presentations by
Hungarian artists and media experts, as well as the presentation of two
Hungarian translations of Flusser's works. These events take place on March
18 at 18:00 and March 19 at 19:00.
