Dina Kelberman will discuss her work with appropriated networked images and her tendency to meticulously collect and organise pictures from the media of everyday life. Her presentation will be followed by a desktop performance titled This Fan May Not Be Replaced You Just Don't Know The Future, showcasing "a landscape of fascinating tedium” composed of found YouTube videos.
In Screen Walks, a series of live-streamed explorations of digital spaces, selected artists and researchers investigate artistic strategies taking place online. The project gives an insight into practices using the screen as a medium. From re-contextualising pictures found on online marketplaces and uncovering data brokers’ invisible circulation of images to analysing in-game photography and the social, political and economic implications of games – Screen Walks examines various approaches, offers a behind-the-scenes look at artists’ work and uncovers new, current and forgotten digital spaces. Screen Walks is a collaboration between The Photographers’ Gallery in London and Fotomuseum Winterthur.
