Future under Construction ‒ Social Media and Media Art in China June 19th 2013, 7 pm
Panel discussion with Zhang Peili, artist, Hangzhou Hito Steyerl, artist, Berlin Isaac Mao, blogger, Shanghai Moderation: Li Zhenhua, curator, Zürich/Beijing Is there “contemporary art in China” or “contemporary Chinese art”? This question has been the subject of major controversy in artistic circles in China. Is new media art shaped mainly by stylistic or formal conventions? Why was media art the first kind of experimental art in China to receive state funding? From the beginning of video art in the nineties to the social networks of our own age, the discussion will explore the question of what kind of new images of the future are generated by the new media, and to what extent they change our awareness of time and history. at: Haus der Kulturen der Welt John-Foster-Dulles-Allee 10 Berlin http://www.udk-berlin.de/sites/kunst_in_china/content/index_eng.html _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
