Whose University?

This lecture will address the role of automation and administration in usurping the cognitive mission of higher education as evidenced by the recent responses to campus protests in the United States.

Saas-Fee Summer Institute of Art
Saas-Fee Summer Institute of Art (SFSIA) is a nomadic, intensive summer academy with shifting programs in contemporary critical theory that stresses an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the relationship between art and politics. SFSIA originated in Saas-Fee, Switzerland in 2015 and then migrated to Berlin, Germany where it has been hosted by Import Projects (2016) and Spike (2017-2019). Additional programs have been hosted by Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles, Performance Space New York, The Brooklyn Rail, and sonsbeek20→24 in Arnhem, The Netherlands. SFSIA was founded and is directed by Warren Neidich. Sarrita Hunn is the assistant director.
