The Legacy of the Independent Group conference audio recordings

Between architecture and advertising, fine art and mass culture, film and technology, how can the theories and practices of the Independent Group contribute to our understanding of the collapsing disciplinary boundaries of contemporary visual culture? To what extent did the Independent Group anticipate the impact of the digital revolution on visual culture and the value of ephemerality? Mark Wigley delivers a keynote and is joined by international critics, historians and practitioners to discuss these issues.
