AND - Artists Network Database

Archive for the '.News' Category

Announcement

In short, The Network ([NewMediaArtProjectNetwork]:||cologne) will start AND - Artists Network Database, a new component in the framework of The Network. Its purpose is to centralize and concentrate information which forms the basis of all projects and environments initiated and realised by The Network, i.e. the biographical info of the involved artists.

This database will be installed primarily for internal use, but it is available online with free access und open for all people interested in media art on a global level.

Since 2000 more than 1000 artists joint the activities of The Network , and through the new database the continously changing artists information can be organised and updated more effectively.

    ttransmediale.08 - CONSPIRE... (European focus)

    transmediale.08 - CONSPIRE...

    After two years as a guest of the Academy of Arts, transmediale.08 returns for its next edition in January/February 2008 to Berlin’s landmark House of World Cultures giving focus to digital technology as an intrinsic element of worldwide contemporary culture.

    Under the theme CONSPIRE... transmediale.08 aims to hear from a broad range of artists, media activists and academics working within the realms of digital art and culture in ways which may be read as elaborating upon and challenging our understanding of collaborative and network practice. As such transmediale.08 looks to the cross-disciplinary tinkerers, utopian spelunkers, conspiratorial hoaxsters and stealth tacticians who question, subvert, undermine and bypass the unspoken rules, hidden codes of conduct and assumed truths entrenched within our information driven communication cultures and ideological belief structures.

    By exploring subversive artistic methodologies and developing (counter-) conspiratorial strategies to uncover new forms of expression and digital discourse CONSPIRE... will attempt to enter the increasingly prevalent yet ambiguous worlds of network induced narratives, cryptic environments and speculative inquiry.

    Under its motto CONSPIRE... , transmediale.08 seeks to examine dubious worlds of story telling and remote opinion making, to look critically at the means of creative conspiratorial strategies, and use these to uncover new forms of expression and digital discourse. The programme includes an exhibition to the festival’s theme CONSPIRE..., an extensive film & video programme, a several-day conference with international researchers, media activists and artists, a series of experimental performances

    Artist are mostly likely of European Origin: eg

    Lumina / Pulsation
    "Lumina", a horizontal-lying light reflecting art work, crystalline and bio-amorphous in form refers to seemingly organic natural topology, which in balancing the tensions of gravity and levitation constitutes a challenge for the viewer’s expanded perceptional experience and (self)reflection.
    The video work "Pulsation" shows a pulsating light phenomenon composed through the proceedings of light reflection, video projection of the X-ray scan of the artist’s brain and its computer modified video recordings. The light apparition as the bodily and technologically generated hybrid manifests the indivisible link of the organic body with the energy-level spiritual mentality.
