ART IN MOTION III

This year AIM III, in partnership with the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los
Angeles, presents Luna Park: a series of lectures, events, and critical
inquiries into digital art practice and culture, and the trajectories of
globalization. During winter and spring 2002, a lecture series and two-day
symposium will examine art, technology, entertainment, and activism in the
context of globalization, the growing privatization of culture, and our
fascination with the spectacular.

AIM is the annual international festival of time-based media presented by
the University of Southern California School of Fine Arts. AIM is directed
by artist Janet Owen. The AIM III lecture series and symposium are
programmed by artist and AIM Executive Producer Christiane Robbins.
 
Events are free; museum admission is not included.
