Symposium
Positions in flux: On the changing role of the artist and institution in
the networked society
Symposium venue: Trouwgebouw Amsterdam, Wibautstraat 131, Amsterdam
http://www.trouwamsterdam.nl
Friday, May 8th, 2009 9:00 - 18:00 hrs
Organised by the Netherlands Media Art Institute
The symposium will center on some of the major questions regarding the
current and future development of contemporary art and digital culture:
Which impact has art on politics and can it contribute to the solution
of conflicts? How does the wide spread of digital technologies influence
the creation of art and mould individual digital cultures? Are there new
models of art production and curating coming up? The three panel
discussions follow a clear thematic scheme and try to bring in as much
expertise and viewpoints as possible. The conference language is English.
