Round table "The digital double: Self-images in the digital era"

A conversation on our digital doubles, online self-representations, avatars, digital twins and deepfakes… This meeting brings together perspectives from philosophy, cultural sciences research, and curatorial practice to explore the ethical, political, and artistic issues of our digital doubles in the age of image manipulation. What does the cultural context, which is at the origin of the digital double, teach us? To what extent do digital twins correspond to their physical offline equivalents, and what new perspectives do they open up? What artistic aesthetics stem from them? How can we address the complex issues of disinformation and falsification in this context? As part of the Biennale de l'Image Possible (BIP), we invite you to a discussion with Marion Zilio, philosopher and art critic, and Randi Heinrichs, cultural and media studies researcher. The meeting will be moderated by Anne-Françoise Lesuisse, curator of the Liège BIP, organized this year around the theme Miroir Miroir. This event is organized with the support of the Franco-German Cultural Fund – bringing together the embassies of Germany and France, the Goethe-Institut Bruxelles, Alliance Française de Bruxelles-Europe and the Institut français – in collaboration with the Biennale de l’Image Possible (BIP2026). Free admission upon registration.
