The Ontology of the Artefact is a digital publication exploring the conditions of the artefact within colonial museology through to contemporary visual culture. It is a platform for discourse surrounding the artefact and its displacement, creation, destruction, and reimagining. This publication interweaves texts from various fields of expertise, discussing questions such as:
- “What is an artefact?”
- “What sociological, political, cultural, historical factors turn an object into an artefact?”
- “What artefacts may represent contemporary imperial constructs of culture?”
- “What artefacts may represent absences in cultural representation?”
- “Can an artefact be digital?”
- “Can an artefact be contemporary?”
We invite you to join us for the launch of The Ontology of the Artefact digital publication, with a talk by contributors to the publication.
