About this lecture
As part of RAMI 3.0 (International Encounters on Arts and Multimedia), devoted to digital arts in Lebanon “at the crossroads of visual art, video art, the performing arts and the arts in public space”, a professional encounter was held at AltCity, Hamra, Beirut, on October 27, 2012. It brought together artists, activists, programmers and managers of cultural organizations around the development of artistic and technological projects.
Ricardo Mbarkho took part alongside Marc Mercier (Les Instants Vidéo), Claire Duport, Claudine Dussollier, Abdo Nawar (Shams) and guests from Egypt, Japan and Lebanon. The discussions covered the Medialab experience at AltCity, the development of digital art in Lebanon, and video art fifty years after its birth.
