<br>
</b><small>May 16 | 09:45–17:15 | de Balie, Amsterdam<br>
Admission: €40 (students €25) | ISBN 978-90-5662-856-7 € 22,50<br>

V2_ presents: "Vital Beauty," an international symposium and
publication as part of the Dutch Electronic Art Festival 2012.
The symposium focuses on the question of how the age-old
notion of beauty can regain an importance appropriate to the
21st century. As hard as modernism tried to erase it from art
and life, our need for beauty has not been annihilated.<br>
<br>
With: Lars Spuybroek, Thierry Bardini, Wendy Steiner, Steven
Shaviro, Timothy Ingold and Philip Beesley.<br>
