Through Post-Atomic Eyes: Catastrophe and Armageddon in Artists’ Films.
Special screening at Jackman Hall, Art Gallery of Ontario
Summary
Through Post-Atomic Eyes brings together an interdisciplinary group of artists
and
scholars to
explore the complex legacy of the atomic age in contemporary art and culture. In what ways do
photography and other lens-based art practices shed light on this legacy in the 21st century,
and
how has atomic culture shaped contemporary intersections of photography, nuclear industries, and
military techno-cultures? Join us as we explore some of the most urgent issues of our time, from
climate change and the Anthropocene to surveillance culture and the advent of drone warfare,
through
a post-atomic lens.
