Visiting Editors #9 - Davide Tommaso Ferrando

On Thursday, January 31, 2019, at 19:00, a lecture by architecture critic Davide Tommaso Ferrando will take place at the VI PER gallery in Prague, and on Friday, February 1, 2019, at 19:00, it will be held at the 4AM space in Brno.

Our everyday relationship with the transmission of knowledge has been radically changed by contemporary opportunities for (almost) anyone to gain free and immediate access to the tools of production and consumption of digital content.
The use of the internet and social networks is thereby transformed into a new kind of editorial practice. In a deeply commodified media environment characterized by superficial perception, information overload, attention deficit, filter bubbles, and constant acceleration, the editorial task is to hack existing communication technologies, search for the cracks that exist between them, and find new protocols capable of harnessing their potential for shaping critical discourse. When viewed this way, editorial work escapes disciplinary boundaries and technological limitations and is reset into everyday transmedia practice.
Davide Tommaso Ferrando is an architecture critic, researcher, and curator focusing on intersections between architecture, the city, and media. He leads the editorial team of 011+ and Viceversa, and is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Architecture Theory at the University of Innsbruck.
The public educational program Visiting Editors is a project of the platform Fake Cities True Stories in collaboration with the VI PER Gallery in Prague and the cultural space PRAHA Forum for Architecture and Media in Brno.

Curator: Maria Topolčanská
