We are thrilled to invite you to save the date for our French GSO Conference entitled Artificiality | Surfaciality, which will take place on April 9 and 10 at Rutgers (French Seminar Room - Academic Building West Wing - 4th floor).
This year’s conference is an international event jointly organized by Rutgers University and Aix-Marseille Université (FR). Graduate students, faculty, artists and professionals will be joining us on both side of the atlantic.
Artificiality | Surfaciality will explore questions of artificiality and surfaciality across literature, film, visual culture, and digital media, with particular attention to surfaces, interfaces, mediation, and the aesthetic and political stakes of artificial forms, fostering interdisciplinary and transatlantic dialogue.
The conference is free and open to public (RSVP here), and a detailed program will be shared soon on our website (here and through the QR code on the poster below). In the meantime, please save the date!
