Iconography 2024 - Levels of Unreality, Metaverses and the Worlds of Images (IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca, 4th-6th December 2024)
The conference will be held at the IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca from 4 to 6 December 2024, organised by Maria Luisa Catoni, Riccardo Olivito and Monica Salvadori. “Iconography 2024” will bring together specialists from various disciplines to focus on the techniques and devices through which images create alternative worlds, different ‘levels of unreality’, metaverses and bridges between real and virtual dimensions. Building on the success of the “Iconography 2022” that examined aspects of ‘space’, the 2024 conference concentrates on a second fundamental element through which we interact with images, namely their ‘meta-iconographic’ value. Particular attention will be placed on the ability of images to create or recall - through mimetic processes, symbolic allusions and specific techniques - dimensions and realities beyond the context in which the images themselves are created, displayed and received.
Proposal submission: 16 June 2024
