מחר יתקיים כנס "פנטום קפיטל: מחשבות על הון בעידן הדיגיטלי", שיתוף פעולה ראשוני בין ארטפורט תל אביב, תכנית התואר השני באמנויות (MFA) בצלאל והתכנית ללימודי המשך באמנות במדרשה, המכללה האקדמית בית ברל.
הכנס "פנטום קפיטל" שואל את שמו ממונח שטבעה האמנית אניישקה קוראנט, ומתייחס לרעיון לפיו הכלכלה העכשווית מבוססת כיום לא רק על סחורות, מטבעות כסף ושטרות חוב, אלא היא בחלקה הגדול וירטואלית ונסמכת על "רוחות רפאים" של ישויות ושירותים, רעיונות וכוח אבסטרקטי.

הכנס פתוח לקהל, ויתקיים בשפה האנגלית
