In this panel current issues concerning pain, art and communication are addressed. Suggested Speakers are: Ståhl Stenslie, Christa Sommerer & Laurent Mignonneau, Stelarc (to be confirmed), Diane Gromola (to be confirmed), Volker Morawe (to be confirmed) 

In our media society and social networks we are asked to react and communicate permanently. While this can be inspiring and helps us to share, care and heal via networks, such communication can also lead to information overload, exhaustion and chronic bodily pain. In the age of electronic connectivity, how do we now experience pain? And how does it affect us? In this panel we artistically deal with the connection between communication, sensory affects, bodily experiences and artistic experiments exploring these fields.
