The visual semiotics of governmentality: Art, politics, and criticism

In project she focuses on the question of how the visual mechanisms of contemporary disciplinarian regimes are organised; specifically, one of them – the financial structure of the Multiannual Financial Framework of the European commission. The work will be presented in 3-D form, through which we’ll be transferred into the world of a similar computer game. After the lecture, representatives of the non-governmental sector will discuss the potential of such artistic projects to cast a critical eye on their subjects. They will also mention the transparency, or lack thereof, of the structure of the grant system, as well as the realities that percipients of subsidies find themselves in.
