program day by day: November 15:
Inscenated and dramatized architecture of media At the first day of the event there will be the focus on inscenated architecture and stage set as well as on mass projects. It will be shown, how architects and concepters of media are inspired by the paradox relationship between architecture and media. Aspects as projection and tracking, visualization of multiuser-projects in space and the realization of multitasking will be referred to. There will be also questions thematized in regard to stage settings – for example audiovisual concerts, media theatre… – and cyberspace. But also fundamental questions as for example the expansion of the definition of media should be thematized: So one of the lecturers, Prof. Michael Simon works as set-designer of Peter Greenaway and William Forsythe in the field of classical and new media.
November 16: Information Architecture – The Shift of Architecture The traditional (built) architecture and its opening towards projected as well as medial spaces will be discussed and presentated at the second day of the event. In this context there is the phanomenon to be realized that bureaus of architecture get more and more to producers of media. The relationship between built and realized architecture and exclusively visualized architecture shifts more and more. But the architecture itself gets a medium, too. What is the function of architecture in connection between networks, information technology and telecommunication? The bureau for architecture and urbanism in Bruxelles LAB[au] works at the interface of vrituality and realized and built projects. With sPACE they introduce a VRML-project, to develop spaces within the internet, which come close to our intuitive perception of space and question them at the same time. At several levels LAB[au] elaborated different aspects into the interactive space: recombinant realities, differential gravity, navigable music and hypermedia. Further presentators are Datenflug from Berlin, propeller Z from Vienna and UN Studio from Amsterdam.
November 17:
Media Space as Art Space – The Museum as Medium The third media-space-day thematizes the classical praxis of exhibition, confronted increasingly with online-projects. How do exhibition conceptioners react to the non-space of net art? How do they react to the final dematerialisation of the arts, as they already had searched a long time in the areas of film and video for adequate forms of exhibition. Already existing centres of media art like the Ars Electronica Centre in Linz should be introduced to show that in the meantime nearly any big city has got the possibility to use spaces of media art. Next to the specific spaces of media art museums should be shown, who integrated new media in their exhibition conception – for example KIASMA Museum of Contemporary Art in Helsinki. New parameters of architectonical productions appear in relation to new questions of the representation of media art.
November 18:
Intervention of media in real space and the art of artificial reality At the last day
of the congress net art projects should be presentated, dealing with
the relationship between real space and online activities. Forms of
publications in public space will be elaborated as well as adequate
forms of presenation of internet projects – projects which are
not suitable to be shown in public – are questioned. The omnipresence
of net works in public space, but also the invisibility and the ambivalent
relationship between a private medium like the internet and public space
inspired numerous artists to look into those partly diametrical questions.
So the „Institute for Applied Autonomy" developed a „Graffity
Writer" – a mobile which writes slogans at public space or
public on ground. The „Graffity Writer" is a robot controlled
teleoperatively and maybe an answer of an technological counterculture
of the increasing technologisation of supervision.
