TEXT [Sound/ON] IMAGE 8: Flesh & flash at the boundaries of the body and machines

The TEXTE [Sound/oN] IMAGE lecture series explores the constantly changing interrelationships between the tools and spaces currently available to us for expressing ourselves, communicating, and reporting on the sensory worlds made possible through digital media. How do these tools and spaces change our perceptions, expectations, habits, and ways of conceiving and creating art to encounter the Other in what we call eSPACEs, which are always straddling the line between the tangible and the intangible?+) Following on from previous editions, this new edition continues to focus on issues of sensory cartography, identity, and the relationship between [Body/Machine] (Carole Brandon, 2016).

This new edition of TEXTE [Sound/ON] IMAGE will take place at the WINDMILL Performance Space on April 24, 2026, in Seoul, Korea, based on a wonderful proposal by Rafaël Sanchez, with the help of PLANNED ACCIDENTS, the Institut Français, Paris 8 University, and Transcultures. Accompanied by an exhibition of works... It will be organised for the French PART-i by Jordan Fraser Emery (-! Laboratoire LLSETI / USMB !-) / Marc Veyrat (-! Laboratoire CiTu - Paragraphe / Paris 8 !-) and for the Belgian PART-i by Isa*Belle Vrammout (-! Transcultures !-)

The last edition took place at INBA, the Higher Institute of Fine Arts in Tetouan, Morocco, in November 2024. We believe it is essential for this series of conferences to explore the complementarities of different cultures and their potential interactions in relation to interconnected spaces, images, languages, and sounds, as well as how these influence our constantly evolving shared territories through social networks, AI, and the web. A book is currently in preparation.

All previous editions of TEXTE [S-oN] IMAGE 7 have been held since 2011 in Valletta, in collaboration with the University of Malta and Richard Spiteri, Professor of “foreign languages” (-! in this case French !-) at the same university. Malta, located in the center of the Mediterranean, seemed to us to be the perfect place to develop—in relation to the complementary cultures bordering the shores of this MARE NOSTRUM—a new network of links around art and information systems. This time, we are going beyond the shores of the Mediterranean... Welcome to Korea!+)
