SYMPOSIUM OF MEDIA CULTURE
16-19 OCTOBER 2013, MOSCOW
Venue - CENTRAL EXHIBITION HALL "MANEGE", MOSCOW

VISUAL SPLITS: NEW MEDIA MATTERS
This year Pro&Contra will be focused on the theoretical discussion
of new media art and new visuality as a whole. We are primarily
interested in the meaning of their newness: what is the relationship
between the new visuality of media art and classical visual space?
What is the principle difference between new media art and
avant-garde experiments? What is the effect of new media on our
notion of visible evidence and how they affect our everyday
perceptions?
Four multidisciplinary panels will constitute the core of the symposium:
-- Panel 1 Visual Space in Contemporary Media Art: Is Traditional
Art Still Relevant?
-- Panel 2 Avant-Garde and New Media: What Didn't Dziga Vertov Know?
-- Panel 3 Imitations of Life: What Is Visual Evidence Beyond Indexicality?
-- Panel 4 The Gallery and the Metro: How Does New Media Art Change
Everyday Perceptions?
