Subject: BEM - Bad Ems Media Art Days, scientific congress puls exhibition
arty bytes, May 30th - June 1st, 2003
Dear all,
we would like to announce the following event:
Bad Ems Media Art Days
Virtual Utopias – Boundless Possibilities?
On the Relevance of New Technologies in Art and Society
May 30th – June 1st, 2003
Marmorsaal, Romerstr. 8, Bad Ems, Germany
An Academic Conference organized by
Kunstlerhaus Schloss Balmoral and Institut fur Kunstwissenschaft, University
of Koblenz-Landau, Campus Koblenz
External Cooperation with
Georg C. Tholen, Institut fur Medienwissenschaften, University of Basle and
Monika Fleischmann/Wolfgang Strauss, Institut fur Medienkommunikation (IMK),
Fraunhofer Gesellschaft, Sankt Augustin
Beginning: Friday, May 30th, 2003, 2pm, Marmorsaal, Romerstr. 8, Bad Ems,
Germany
New means of expression have developed in art, photography, film and New
Technologies which have aesthetic and social consequences. What started as a
self-reflexive system around the medium, opens its (cyber-)space for new
(‘think’-)rooms in which text and picture converge, time is
measured in real time, the virtual emerges as a new reality and simulation
makes possible new forms of being.
The New Media uses the internet and the computer, film, photography and
video are alienated, virtual realities are generated and the viewer
participates interactively in the construction of New Media works.
In the nowhere-land of the Net, new models of communication, new forms of
society and hierarchies, virtual landscapes and architectures arise. Spatial
and temporal distance is questioned as is the representation of the body:
eternal youth, dream and trauma, idyll and horror, reality and fiction.
The congress will be followed by a discussion about the current state of
research and artistic ideas. The object here is to debate the current
position with young researchers and artists and to think up tomorrow’s
utopias in the wake of the creation of the quantum computer.
The exhibition art bytes and the Internetcafe will accompany the congress
with concrete artistic statements.
