‘The aesthetics of digital vision’

Information Technology (IT) is significantly impacting on our daily life. The perception of  the world around us, our interactions as well as the understanding we have of our existence and our responsibilities are going through a radical transformation. Figuring out the extent to which artificial intelligence is actually improving our lives and the ability of digital technologies to lay the foundation for a new didactic approach, are just two examples of the unresolved issues at the center of the scheduled debates. Given the importance the topic has for the future, the views of scientists will be enriched with those of other specialists so as to give us some fresh insight on what really matters today.

He is one of the leading specialists on the thinking of Merleau-Ponty as many publications, like The Flesh of Images: Merleau-Ponty between Painting and Cinema (2011) demonstrate. As revealed by Être morts ensemble : l’événement du 11 Septembre 2001 (2013) and Philosophie-écrans (2016) his attention has lately been drawn by the link between contemporary visual experience and contemporary philosophy.
