Thinking Between Art and Philosophy(II)

SPEAKER:  Kailin Yang (Professor, Graduate Institute of Trans-disciplinary Arts, Taipei National University of the Arts)

TOPIC: Four Counter-Propositions on the Image in Bergson’s Philosophy

TIME:   October 21 (Wednesday) 16:00-18:00

VENUE: 2F, 360 University House

In Matter and Memory, Bergson proposes a radical revolution in the conception of images. Through four counter-propositions, Bergson reconstructs the image into a decentralized, anti-representational dynamism that operates without a subject-object framework. By introducing indetermination into the mechanical laws of physics, this perspective serves as source for escaping clichés and unleashing creativity.
