Media Art Futures Conference

slider01

Artistic creation with new technologies is an evolving field. We can analyze its development linked to the history of technology in general and, in recent decades, to digital technologies and the Internet. However, an analysis of New Media Art can not overlook the critical issues and aesthetic character that involves technology. Neither the new relations established with the spectator and new areas for the creation and dissemination that enables. Conferences Media Art Futures seeks to draw an analysis of technological art based on its historical evolution to trace lines of action towards new scenarios and future developments.

As part of the International Festival Media Art Futures, from 15th to 17th april renowed artist, art historians, theorists and researchers of contemporary art and new media will meet at Centro Párraga to offer their views on the history, development and complexities of Media Art.

Among them we can highlight professors Oliver Grau and Jose Ramón Alcalá, the artist Christa Sommerer pioneer in art and artificial life, Christopher Lindinger, director of innovation and development of Ars Electronica Futurelab and the curators experts in new media Pau Waelder, Dominique Moulon and Daphne Dragona.

In addition to the keynote presentations a series of roundtables have been organized to conduct a deep analyse of the past, present and future of Media Art.

The conference program also includes the seminar Interactivos?15 Murcia-Futures at play. A series of presentations, discussions and working groups around the projects selected for development in the intensive workshop to be held at La Conservera Art Center from 18th to 27th April.

On the 17th we will also have a special program dedicated to Imagine Culture, an event of disruptive innovation that takes place in different formats and in which the participants (Dreamers) work in multidisciplinary teams to generate innovative projects in the context of culture, science and art.
