“Art and (r)Evolution” – talk for LA Opera Ring Festival
What a week… going to the opening of the LA Opera Ring Festival in a moment, then tomorrow is the first theCOREcircles event in Los Angeles, then Brewery ArtWalk this weekend. Am selling my art for the first time, which should be fun, and will also give a talk on “Art and (r)Evolution,” for the LA Opera Ring Festival.
Richard Wagner’s themes in his 1849 essay “Art and Revolution” are in many ways as applicable today as they have ever been. Drawing from perennial wisdom as much as from future technologies, this talk will draw an arch from the beginning of art, the Greek drama, the Camerata Society’s first Opera commission, Wagner’s impact on arts and media, to today’s possibilities and tomorrow’s responsibilities.
From a reflection on the nature of creativity as described by Wagner and other artists and philosophers to the function of arts and media in society, this talk will reflect on how artists and media makers hold up a mirror and serve as a public conscience, and how they can also inspire long term visions of the future, ever more realistically shared via ever more realistic immersive media.
This free talk will be given in the context of the Brewery ArtWalk and the Los Angeles Opera Ring Festival.
Brewery ArtWalk is a bi-annual event at the Los Angeles Brewery Arts Complex, one of the largest artist enclaves in the world. ArtWalk occurs from 11am-6pm. Soup will be served after 6pm. The talk is scheduled from 7pm-8:00pm. A reception follows.
The event is free.
