Since 2023-2024, this seminar has continued the Tele-Visions program’s exploration of the transformative impact of remote vision technologies in art history and visual culture at large. Held monthly—either via Zoom or in person at the Institut National d’Histoire—these sessions bring together a vibrant community of art historians, media scholars, artists, critics, and curators. Together, we examine how visual technologies from the 19th century to the present have shaped our understanding of art and perception across distances.
We are thrilled to share the 2024-2025 program of IMAGO-Cultures Visuelles research seminar on Télé-Visions!
