In her book, Lindsay Caplan explores how in postwar Italy, a group of visionary artists— Bruno Munari amid them — made use of emergent computer system technologies as both equally equipment of creative creation and a implies to reconceptualize the dynamic interrelation concerning personal flexibility and collectivity. Arte Programmata traces the multifaceted techniques of these groundbreaking artists and their conviction that know-how could provide the disorders for a liberated social existence.

Prof. Caplan will be in discussion with CIMA Fellows Margaret Scarborough and Giulia Zompa.
