Event overview
From World War II and the devastating start of nuclear warfare at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, together with the wartime use of propaganda art in Eastern and in the Western countries, the ethics of art and science was subject to extensive reevaluation by post-war intellectuals. Yet in the case of nuclear technology, were higher ethical standards actually achieved? Does contemporary civilian use of nuclear technology succeed in casting off its negative image? And has art achieved greater independence from such an ethics? Today’s post-Fukushima Japan offers surprising views on the topic.
Dr. Gabrielle Decamous is Associate Professor, Faculty of Languages and Cultures, Kyushu University, Japan.
This event is part of the Dora Project, a cross-generational archiving and participatory project that combines contemporary art, WW2 London and early rocket engineering. The Dora Project contributes to contemporary debates around the nature and role of memorials and ethics in science and art.
