Tellervo Kalleinen & Oliver Kochta-Kalleinen:<\/strong>
\nConfessions of a Participatory Artist<\/em><\/h2>\n

In this confessional lecture, Tellervo Kalleinen and Oliver Kochta-Kalleinen ask why participatory art remains relevant today. An artist who involves people in the creative process needs a unique palette of tools, as many small decisions influence the dynamics with the participants. In their lecture, Tellervo and Oliver will shed light on their chosen approaches, openly acknowledging what they have learned through their mistakes as well.<\/p>\n

Tellervo Kalleinen and Oliver Kochta-Kalleinen\u00a0work across many mediums from cinema to performance and interactive art forms. They share\u00a0a deep interest in questions of participation, dialogue and storytelling.

Julia Nisperos & Wax Roldan from Green Papaya Art Projects:<\/strong>
\nArtist Collective Practices in the Philippines<\/em><\/h2>\n

In their lecture “Artist Collective Practices in the Philippines,” Julia Nisperos and Wax Roldan explore the history of Green Papaya Art Projects from the perspective of engaged observers. They examine Green Papaya\u2019s community-driven practices and its influence on the broader art scene in the Philippines. Nisperos and Roldan will share insights from their experiences within collectives, connecting past and present to reflect on how these observations shape their approaches to collective work.<\/p>\n

Trevor Paglen:
\nYou\u2019ve Just Been F*cked by PSYOPS<\/em><\/h2>\n

“You\u2019ve Just Been F*cked by PSYOPS\u201d is a lecture-performance by\u00a0Trevor\u00a0Paglen. As AI-generated content, social media influence operations, micro-targeted advertising, and pervasive surveillance shape the visual culture around us, we find ourselves in an era of PSYOP capitalism \u2014 an age defined by manipulative influences designed to alter our perceptions, senses, and beliefs. This talk explores the history of covert military, intelligence, and technology programs that have laid the foundation for our increasingly surreal present.<\/p>\n

Trevor Paglen is an artist whose work spans image-making, sculpture, investigative journalism, writing, engineering, and numerous other disciplines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
