  • Marta Braun, Ryerson University
  • Ben Burbridge, University of Sussex / co-curator Revelations
  • Ori Gersht, artist
  • Marek Kukula, Royal Observatory Greenwich
  • Corey Keller, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
  • Sarah Pickering, artist
  • Kelley Wilder, De Montfort University  

Panels will be chaired by: Greg Hobson (National Media Museum / co-curator Revelations); David Alan Mellor (University of Sussex); and Sean O’Hagan (The Guardian).

Organised in collaboration with the Centre for the Visual, University of Sussex.
