Transport of Delight. The Arts Catalyst/Blog
There are a lot of people on the road this Autumn. First up is ISEA 2009 on the Island of Ireland, starting from Belfast and shipping out to Dublin, Derry, Dundalk and other places. We'll be blogging from there next week. Then there is the project to transport an artwork from London to Bejing, via Istanbul, organised by Miranda Pope, Arts Catalyst associate curator, among others. The caravan moves on to Ars Electronica, Linz, Istanbul Biennale, Interdependence Day, also in Istanbul (where I will speak on autonomous infrastructures by artists) Transitland Europa Sofia and the Lyon Biennale. But while it is acknowledged that personal face-to-face high bandwidth networking is what keeps the art, media and science worlds vital and fluid, what about all this short-haul flying? Furtherfield, following Gustav Metzger's RAF (Reduce Art Flights) campaign, instituted a pledge to abstain from flying for art for six months. I too have been trying to stop short haul where possible and (bar a visit to Brazil) have succeeded in not flying for art since February this year, taking the train to Transmediale in Berlin, for example. Next month I will join Furtherfield for a train trek to Istanbul via Linz and Sofia, and back again. We are hoping others on that trail will join us, more... http://artscatalyst.typepad.com/the_arts_catalyst/2009/08/transport-of-delight.html _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
