Within the context of the debate about the role and function of image in 
our society, the symposium âArt in the new field of visibilityâ 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 artistsâ 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.
