AVEC - Arts, Visuality and Electronic Culture

Interdisciplinary Graduate Student Workshop

AVEC - Arts, Visuality and Electronic Culture is an interdisciplinary Graduate Student Workshop born as an extension of the course of Visual Studies taught by Francesco Spampinato as part of the Second Cycle Degree Programme in Visual Arts, Curriculum AMaC – Arts, Museology and Curatorship of the Department of the Arts (DAR) at the University of Bologna.

AVEC’s goal is to mobilize researchers, curators, artists, philosophers, and collectives in work-in-progress dialogues on the intersections between contemporary art, visual studies, and electronic culture. Active since 2022, once per semester AVEC brings to the Complesso of Santa Cristina and its Metaverse on Spatial a chance to reflect about our complex post-pandemic condition and the unstoppable process of confusion between the real and the virtual.
