UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED ARTS VIENNA

On the occasion of the Biennale Architettura 2016 and of the Special
Project on Applied Arts “A World of Fragile Parts” jointly organised by La
Biennale di Venezia and the Victoria and Albert Museum London’, the
inaugural La Biennale Summer School 1/2016 is announced. Jointly organised
by La Biennale di Venezia, University of Applied Arts Vienna and the
Victoria and Albert Museum London, applicants are being invited to
participate in the programme:

COGNITIVE ADVENTURES IN THE DIGITAL AGE:
THE FUTURE OF CREATION AND PRESERVATION
LA BIENNALE SUMMER SCHOOL 1/2016

will focus on questions and challenges like

 • Will technologies based on digitalization, robotics, artificial
intelligence, biotechnology and quantum mechanics create a paradigm shift
in a cultural creation and preservation; and in perceptions of art, design
and architecture?

• Can there consequently be a new role for art, design and architecture in
society?

• What opportunities will arise, or have arisen, for the presentation and
preservation of cultural heritage using these new and emerging technologies?

• What if the deliberate demolition or accidental destruction of cultural
monuments no longer means their irretrievable extinction?

• What if advanced forms of producing and perceiving art, design and
architecture could give new significance to public spaces?

• How might scientific progress, in conjunction with creative skills and
enlightened thinking, change the rules of social life, politics and
economics?

Participants will experience one week of cognitive adventures by
undertaking intellectual, physical and digital experiments. Guided and
supported by artists and theorists from various fields, the participants
will have the opportunity to open up new perspectives for thinking and
acting in their professional life.

‘A World of Fragile Parts’, an exhibition organized by La Biennale di
Venezia and the Victoria and Albert Museum, explores the threats facing the
preservation of global heritage sites and how the production of copies can
aid in the preservation of cultural artifacts.
