KuvA Research Days 13-15.12.2021 - registration is open!

The seventh edition of KuvA Research Days, arranged by the Academy of Fine Arts at Uniarts Helsinki will shed some light on experiential practices, pedagogical processes, and supposedly intelligent machines. What is at stake in sensory witnessing? How is the pandemic transforming the art school and its pedagogical visions? How are neural networks and deep learning systems shaping artistic thinking?

The venues are the White Studio at the Academy of Fine Arts at Uniarts Helsinki (Sörnäisten rantatie 19, Helsinki) and the Oodi Library (Töölönlahdenkatu 4, Helsinki). A part of the program will be online (Youtube).

All participants (both onsite and online) are asked to register their participation via an online form. The deadline is Thursday December 7, 2021.
