Project # 10 is Hyperlinked: Art, Technology and the Socio-Political
Domain an international symposium on media art practices taking place
on May 1 and May 2 at the Goethe Institute headquarters in
Alexandria. The Symposium will be composed of a series of separate
lectures that present and analyze different positions in the wider
body of media and art driven socio-cultural practices. From the
curating of media art to the politics of digital culture and from the
educational possibilities of 3D virtual worlds to the notion of
"cultural difference" and its impact on media-based communicative
projects, the symposium hopes to paint a lucid and multiform picture
of media and art and their current relational equation to a larger
sphere of daily life. The symposium's speakers are: Inke Arns, Tarek
Atoui, Elif Ayiter, Andreas Broeckmann, Miltos Manetas, Nat Muller,
and Igor Stromajer.
