Realtime Affairs

REALTIME AFFAIRS is a regular meet-up for artists, cultural practitioners, and interested audiences who are passionate about digital media, performing arts and theory. Initiated by DOCKdigital, REALTIME AFFAIRS creates a vibrant space for sharing knowledge, inspiring collaboration, and exploring novel approaches.

‍
This edition will focus on THE AESTHETIC CONSTRUCTION OF (EMBODIED) REALITIES.

‍
Qusay Awad and Engy El-Shenawy & Federico Zurani will share selected works and offer insights into their workflows and artistic practices.

‍
Together, we will reflect on questions such as: How do digital systems shape our perception and conception of reality? How does this interact with, influence, or disrupt our bodies? What happens when subjective and collective memory clash or intersect?

‍
Confronted with the entanglements of political failure and the instrumentalization of media in the so-called post-truth era, we examine the potential of creative practices in articulating counter-narratives as a form of resistance.
