well, dear all it's over now, just walked away from it, by for the record of this recording radio, we had a lecture/discussion event tonight of the third kind, not sure how to describe it, a symposium complete with "clickers" (for audience vote , pro or con, a first in my life)....
Brunel Public Lecture Series 2013 London, UK Eastern Gateway Building, Main Auditorium Monday 25 Feb at 7pm THE GOOD LIFE IS A MATTER OF AESTHETICS RATHER THAN ETHICS Joseph Giacomin, Johannes Birringer, Peter Wiegold, Peter Beresford (Chair: Christina Victor) Can we have a good life without being good people? Can good art be produced by bad people? Can we separate the aesthetic from the ethical? Joseph Giacomin (focusing on human centred design), Johannes Birringer (theatre) and Peter Wiegold (music) will each discuss these contested notions from their disciplinary perspective. Peter Beresford will focus upon the need to engage all of us in formulating and understanding aesthetics. Starting from the broad overarching theme of Disputed Territories: Challenging Convictions—Contemporary Concerns we have formulated a number of controversial ‘motions’, which are likely to divide public opinion. During each of the six evenings, four renowned Brunel speakers will present their views for or against the motion, and the audience will be invited to participate in the debate via an electronic voting system and an extended question-and-answer session. Attendance at all lectures is free and no booking is required. The speakers will present their views and ideas in a lively and accessible style, without assuming any prior knowledge on the side of the audience. They are guaranteed to spark new insights, challenge your beliefs and provide high quality ‘edu-tainment’, so don’t hesitate to come along!
