Within the context of the debate about the role 
and function of image in our society, the 
symposium "Art in the New Field of Visibility" 
attempts to create a broader framework for 
comprehending the recent metamorphosis of all the 
communication forms and the implications of this 
process in the art field. The emergence of a new 
synthesis of the worldwide communications field 
has generated an interesting process of unifying 
the semiotic distinctions between words and 
images, between art and non-art, between 
visibility and non-visibility. This process 
reveals a paradigm shift that is dramatically 
altering the boundaries, calling for new 
strategies of research and approach, adjusted 
continuously to the increasing complexity of our 
world.
Through four interdisciplinary panel discussions, 
the participants at the symposium will attempt to 
decipher the various aspects and features of our 
predominantly visual culture, exploring artists' 
reaction to the generalized media experience and 
to stereotypes and globalization. Topics 
referring to the new regimes of image as a 
consequence of living in a transparent society, 
as well as topics referring to the crisis of 
representation and the existing situation of 
visual homogenization, will also be discussed.
