The Game of the Real: Art and the Knowledge Project
This collection of essays and responses documents a series of lectures for AP (The Aesthetics and Politics lecture series.) Each semester a new theme is developed with a series of invited speakers to tackle contemporary issues across art, politics, and society.
When there is no straightforward way of explaining and understanding what anything is, does, and means, can we think about the possibilities for a paradigm shift in what constitutes knowledge, thinking, and reason? The serious games we can play in systems where things are yet to be known allow us to ask if a “game of the real” allows us to reconfigure both our means and our ends, to revise the rules that rule us. Indeed, in a world dominated by affectbased populism, is the question of knowledge credible, warranted, or achievable today in politics and culture; dare we mention “progress”?
