Support A*Desk

A*DESK has been offering since 2002 contents about criticism and contemporary art. A*DESK has become consolidated thanks to all those who have believed in the project, all those who have followed us, debating, participating and collaborating. Many people have collaborated with A*DESK, and continue to do so. Their efforts, knowledge and belief in the project are what make it grow internationally. At A*DESK we have also generated work for over one hundred professionals in culture, from small collaborations with reviews and classes, to more prolonged and intense collaborations.

At A*DESK we believe in the need for free and universal access to culture and knowledge. We want to carry on being independent, remaining open to more ideas and opinions. If you believe in A*DESK, we need your backing to be able to continue. You can now participate in the project by supporting it. You can choose how much you want to contribute to the project.

Go Digital, Go Home!

 

With the Covid crisis, we are being forced to digitize at full speed as if the Internet were the miracle balm that will rescue us from the present quagmire. From a philosophical reflection and from particular examples of artistic practice, the workshop will deal with topics such as: the digital vs. the analogical, the weight of “the cloud”, the phenomenon of the screen, the economy of attention, the viral, the post-internet, interpassivity, the lessons of performance, the hacker artist, etc.
