Why do some images have the power to change the way we see the world?

A HUGE thank you to everyone who joined us for “Ruben Brandt, Collector” and to our brilliant speakers, Dr Kate Warren, Dr Dan Santos and Professor Emeritus Michael Smithson, for an absolutely fascinating conversation on art, expertise, originality and the power of images. From artworks that haunt our dreams to questions about creativity and AI in remix culture, weird and wonderful “Ruben Brandt, Collector” gave us plenty to think about, discuss and debate.

And thank you to our fantastic audience for your super-thoughtful questions and enthusiasm, and to the miraculous NFSA Canberra team for making this the smoothest opening event possible for Season 9 (!!!) of our series.

We loved sharing this extraordinary cinematic mindbender with you and can’t wait to see you at the next “Science. Art. Film.” event (exploring “Her” – 30 Sep, 6pm – https://www.nfsa.gov.au/whats-on/science-art-film-her-4651) @ National Film and Sound Archive of Australia.
