........................... Fluid Architectures ........................... Exhibition from 30 May - 16 August Ubiquitous computer networks, information delivery in real time and new display technologies are now the key elements transforming the face of our urban living spaces. Through them a space is taking shape whose manifestations merge the virtual and the physical. Essayist Florian Rötzer talks in this context of a “digital urbanism” whose salient features are ”dispersal, decentralisation, valorisation of interiority, globalisation, individuality and mobility“. These factors shape a networked society and a 'space of flows” which generate new dimensions for imagination and action, no longer concurrent with the old geographies and topographies. The exhibition Fluid Architectures gathers spaces of flow and immateriality created by artists in response to these contemporary notions of the city. These fictional spaces made of light, moving image, and other media extend the idea of physical architecture to the construction of dynamic and seemingly infinite spaces enabling a sensory experience. The works rethink the classic standards of spatial construction and topography. Instead they introduce the new concept of 'performative architecture' and thus propose an imaginary urban landscape for the 21st century. The exhibition is curated by Susanne Jaschko.

Solo exhibition Cory Arcangel >From 29-08-2009 until 14-11-2009 Opening Friday August 28 from 17.00 hrs The Media Art Institute proudly presents the first solo exhibition in The Netherlands by the 31-year-old 'darling of new media art', Cory Arcangel (US). Recent films, modified video games and computer installations by the artist will be shown in the context of earlier work. Cory Arcangel hacks, manipulates and reuses various technological applications, including video games, web software, film and print media. In doing so he comments on digital media technologies and cultures while at the same time continuing to seek the possibilities that present themselves on the cutting edge of humor, theory and technological shortcomings. His interest in technology spans from the vernacular or non-expert to the conscious disrupting of digital techniques. Using techniques common to conceptual art and performance, Arcangel's work often comments on the relationship between these two.
