In this course

Virginia Spate appears to have been a figure associated with the Power Institute of Fine Arts at the University of Sydney, serving as director during a period when the institute hosted significant theoretical interventions like Baudrillard's "Evil Demon of Images" lecture. Her presence in these course materials is primarily archival—she anchors the institutional context where critical theory about simulation, images, and media power were being disseminated in the Australian art world. Rather than being cited for a specific theoretical contribution, Spate represents the curatorial and institutional labor that made theoretical discourse on cybernetics and image culture legible to artists and students in the 1980s.
