Livestream with Mario Santamaría: Explore the Non-Imaginary Museum!

As part of his ongoing Trolling Google Art Project (2013–), the Spanish artist Mario Santamaría (*1985) exposes the problematic of copyright infringements that resulted in blurred images, ultimately rupturing Google Arts & Culture’s promise of endless accessibility and freedom of movement through virtual documentation. After giving an insight into his practice and over seven years of experience in exploring museums online, join the artist on his unexpected, virtual journey around iconic cultural landmarks, copyright violations and other incongruities of the platform.

This event is a collaboration with PhotoIreland 2020. The 11th edition of PhotoIreland Festival – Ireland’s international festival of photography and image culture –, entitled ON/OFF, combines a programme of online and offline activities and exhibitions.

The event is free and takes place on Zoom (register here) and will be live-streamed on our website: https://www.fotomuseum.ch/de/explore/situations/157268.
