WHAT IS THE CYBERBAROQUE? 

monday dec 1, 6-9:30 pm 
@ anomalous space 
36 pentonville rd
london n1 9hf

In EIAG’s most self-indulgent event yet, curator Ester Freider presents a symposium on the neologism 𝒸𝓎𝒷𝑒𝓇𝒷𝒶𝓇𝑜𝓆𝓊𝑒  from her essay “I LOST TRACK OF WHAT WAS REAL”. Using Belle Delphine, Deleuze, and William Egginton as guiding influence(r)s, the essay constructs the 𝒸𝓎𝒷𝑒𝓇𝒷𝒶𝓇𝑜𝓆𝓊𝑒 as an allegory for control or governance through sophistry. Some guiding questions for the symposium will be: How does the ethos of advertising affect the contemporary artmaking process? How have baroque characteristics such as excess and illusion resurgere in contemporary media? What is the value of a trickster? 

At the symposium, we’ll be tracing around this idea through presentations from writer Gabrielle Sicam, writer MPS Simpson, and Ester, a prose reading from Janice Chan, a “SCREENSHOT BABEL” mini writing workshop from Ester and media theorist Gary Hall, a screening of Dana Dawud’s film MONAD, and exclusive EIAG merch. Drinks provided by Anomalous. 

Presentations start at 6:30 sharp.
