SFSIA 2019 | States of Consciousness in Cognitive Capitalism
Building upon our past four year engagement with topics concerning estrangement, individuation, collectivity and art and politics in cognitive capitalism, Saas-Fee Summer Institute of Art 2019 will focus upon states of consciousness and consider what effects new technological transformations might have on human consciousness and its various social and cultural expressions and permutations. Through discussions, workshops, deep readings and performative lectures, we aim to co-create new pathways of understanding and dissensus.

About
Saas-Fee Summer Institute of Art (SFSIA) is a nomadic, intensive summer academy with shifting programs in contemporary critical theory. SFSIA stresses an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the relationship between art and politics. The program consists of seminar-style lectures, deep readings, and workshops. An evening lecture program is free and open to the public. We encourage all genre of artists, film-makers, poets, philosophers, architects, critical theorists, and curators whose practice could use an invigorating jolt of new theory to consider applying for the program.
Saas-Fee Summer Institute of Art was founded and is directed by Warren Neidich
and co-directed by Barry Schwabsky.
