Magisch Onmagisch

A lecture, open debate and exhibition visit exploring what magic means in a disenchanted world. Mythology professor Nadia Sels (UGent, PXL-Hasselt) traces a journey from an enchanted to a disenchanted world, from the Greek muses to demonic AI, while film and theatre maker Laura Vandewynckel discusses her doctoral research into the enchanting power of automatons -- mechanical puppets, robots and kinetic sculptures -- followed by a visit to her exhibition The Parliament of the Pitiful. Free entry, registration required.
