... of contemporary culture and life. The Dena Foundation for Contemporary Art - in its mission to offer new perspectives and ways of thinking contemporary life - has invited people belonging to various domains of research, from the scientific to the artistic, to give their contribution on a theme evermore crucial: ubiquity. How are technologically advanced societies dealing with the ubiquitous dimension towards which they are headed? What happens to our comprehension and expression when our perception of the world is constantly shifting by the speed with which we experience it?

Ubiquitail 4:30 p.m.
Round Table 5:00-8:00 p.m.
The Dena Foundation for Contemporary Art - in its mission to offer new perspectives and ways of thinking contemporary life - has invited people belonging to various domains of research, from the scientific to the artistic, to give their contribution on a theme evermore crucial: ubiquity.
How are technologically advanced societies dealing with the ubiquitous dimension towards which they are headed? What happens to our comprehension and expression when our perception of the world is constantly shifting by the speed with which we experience it? In the historical moment in which many seek new utopias or the revival of old ones, could it not be that the utopia of contemporary culture is ubiquity itself?

Franco La Cecla, anthropologist
Fabrice Hybert, artist
Michel Maffesoli, sociologist
Jayant Narlikar, cosmologist
