A two-day event at MIT will reprise the ARTTRANSITION conferences held by the Center for Advanced Visual Studies in 1975 and 1990. A historical perspective on the themes of ARTTRANSITION revisits the origins of today’s multifaceted and rich art-science-and-technology terrain. The symposium will set the stage with a visual presentation of CENTERBOOK, a history of CAVS by Elizabeth Goldring and Ellen Sebring. Published in 2019, book launch events at MIT were delayed due to the pandemic.
