'Adelaide
International 2014 features artists who suggest new ways of
modelling and imagining the world, who map the edges of what
is known, and who investigate the potentials of what might
lie beyond. Worlds in Collision looks at technological, political,
psychological and psychedelic exploration, and the ways artists
imagine alternatives to arrive at new understandings of potential
and transformation. Time travel, digital frontiers, abandoned
Star Wars sets, near-death experiences, new physics and second
moons herald the foundations of this diverse and extraordinary
selection of artists and artworks, shown across four sites.'

Artists' Week - Talks Programme
Co-convened
by Lars Bang Larsen and Richard Grayson
Associate
Rayleen Forester
Artists'
Week 2014 looks at visions of enlightenment, ways of
imagining alternatives, art politics and subcultures,
and considerations of technological and psychedelic
thinking in a dynamic three-day forum. Speakers from
across Australia and the globe, including guests from
the Festival's visual arts program, will present and
converse on a multitude of subjects variously related
to three main themes.
As
part of the Adelaide Festival's Artists Week 2014, Lars
Bang Larsen (DEN) will curate the Radical Enlightenment
symposium. For Lars Bang Larsen (DEN) and Yann Chateigné
(SUI), the Radical Enlightenment we never had includes
aesthetic and scientific experiments, countercultural
movements, and entire modernities that have been disqualified
as esoteric. After beginning the project at Geneva University,
the two have staged exhibitions and seminars, most recently
at the Palais De Tokyo in Paris. From mystical experiences
and hermetic philosophies through to wayward cybernetics,
network theories, electronic music, trans-humanism and
futurology, this Adelaide symposium of talks and presentations
will invoke the spirit of a Radical Enlightenment by
gauging exchanges between art, science and counter-culture.
Presenters
include: Lars Bang Larsen (DEN) Marco Pasi (ITA/NED)
Erik Davis (USA) Colin Rhodes (AUS) Julie Stephens (AUS)
Rä di Martino (ITA) Susan Hiller (UK) William Yang
