10 am, Sunday January 29th
David Cecchetto's artistic and scholarly life has spanned a variety of forms and media including a collection of conflated idioms, often exploring incongruence and strangeness as tactics towards identifying and exploiting assumed notions of universality, privilege, and knowledge. David holds the degree of Master of Music (Composition) from the University of Victoria, and currently lives in that city as an independent artist and scholar.

Ethical and Activist Considerations of the Technological Artwork
This presentation draws on the work of diverse scholars to explore the theoretical concepts and implications of the technological artwork as a political entity. Using a shared understanding of art, technology, culture, and politics as being reciprocally generative of one another, the presentation explores a critical framework through which we may view artworks in general as (de)mobilizing various and particular technological paradigms, allowing us to view the embedded and invisible assumptions of a work in the context of its cultural ramifications.
