Between November 13. to 19. the CYNETART festival invited to diverse spaces under one roof, where we, together with musically birds, clever organised ants, performance artists, a virtual intelligence and a holographic avatar system got together in the Festspielhaus Hellerau in the North of Dresden. > Read More.
With quite a spread: interfaces between species, interactive radio, new forms of communication, ants & videogames, surveillance and many more the CYNETART exhibition presents during six days selected works from this year's competition.
Moritz Simon Geist, who played at Ars Electronica just some days ago, again honors us with his music robot 808, which visitors this time can reprogram with their devices. And at the final festival day, he will invite friends to an open performance.
During five nights one can hang out under an all around projected hemisphere in the Great Hall, to see the Fulldome works by international artists. Likewise a planetarium one will be surrounded by sound and image in 360°. One can see workshop results of the artists who take part in the EMDL workshop.
Developed at the institution STEIM the private installation invites guests individually to an intensive 8 minutes experience. Some may Marco Donnarumma's art know from last year's CYNETART festival already. Similar in intensity, but more direct and personal it is said to be during his performance Nigredo. An outstanding experience of temporary alteration.
Short but intense the audiovisual dance performance issues during two nights the in boundaries to dreams laying strata of subconsciousness, light and dark looming to an equilibrium during the research of ego processes.

Robert Verch/Eva Olivin »THERE’S SO MUCH TO DO – LET’S JUST LEAVE. [The Investigation]«
Dense Ivy has worked its way up to the third floor and almost completely conquered the windows of a two-room apartment in Chemnitz. Its resident remains untraceable for years. Various personal legacies have been salvaged from the forgotten private rooms during the investigation. A panoramic documentation of 360° allows CYNETART visitors now the virtual investigation of Mr. U's flat.
Why would someone simply leave their home behind like this?
The earth computer proposes the bootstrapping of a long-term, visible computational device self-constructed solely from the earth, and embedded within the earth as a critical monument to human technology.

SUN DRAWING WATER is a video installation that simulates the rhythmic interplay between the glowing sun and floating clouds. We often perceive natural light as moving despite the fact that sunlight is always coming from a fixed point in space. SUN attempts to recreate this experience by playing with the intertwining movement between projected light and animated clouds in an enclosed room filled with smoke. The light, generated by the video projector, pierces through the animated clouds as reflected on a special translucent screen produces a feeling of physical movement in an otherwise motionless environment. The poetic interplay among light, shadow and smoke both surprises and disorients, producing an optical experience that encompass a sculptural and tactile quality that both touches the body and mind.

Adventurous sounds and musics by emerging artists from Berlin.
Moon Wheel is the independent project of Swedish artist and self-taught musician, Olle Holmberg. Increasingly prolific and active on the Berlin scene, Holmberg has started turning heads locally and abroad through his finely-crafted and constantly evolving productions.
OAKE is emerging Berlin duo Eric and Bathseba, who together alchemize their own variant of dark, atmospheric techno inspired by British post-Industrial acts and the occult. Citing Coil and Nurse With Wound as influences, OAKE’s ominous, decaying soundscapes are cut through with stuttering, hypnotic percussion and sibylline vocals.
Berlin Current is a collaborative initiative from CTM Festival, Berghain, Boiler Room Berlin, BLN.FM, No Fear of Pop, and ICAS. Sponsored by the Musicboard Berlin.

In every big city, there is a zoological garden, where animals are on display. A zoo is an architectural space that reflects the relationship we have to the animal world—the more we estimate the rights and needs of the animals, the more we want them to live in ambients replicating their natural habitats rather than in small cages.
Boredom is a major problem of living in captivity. Much has to be undertaken to offer new challenges and diversions to the zoo inhabitants. metamusic aims to build electronic sound installations to be used by the animals themselves. Using a wide range of sensors and tools, the animals become able to explore and to play with sounds and sonic moods.
In an ongoing project we have built the tools in close collaboration with zoologists, animal keepers and a group of grey parrots during the last two years—in order to find meanings and use in sound, which we have not discovered yet; and which maybe changes our understanding of animal intelligence—and music itself.

Time and Being is the major work of philosopher Martin Heidegger. For the video "Time and Being", the central part of the book, which is about how the knowledge of the existence of our future makes us what we are is used. Heidegger has often been critized for his use of overly complicated language.
The actress in the video recites the text, while jogging quickly in a fitness studio. In this way, she is running after the text, stumbling over it, chasing it. The text loses coherence and so is open to new interpretation and association.

An object-based telecommunicational mechanism generates human interconnections. Communicating objects in their pure form act as codes in continuous transformation. “Knot of the nodes “opens contact possibilities in a saturated world with efficient systems of information and in lack of effective communication.
Faith Condition by Lukas Franciszkiewicz is a project that attempts to address the understanding and applications of technology within the religions circles of current “media society”. Lukas is interested in the transformation of religion and technological reproduction of the religious phenomenon of an ‘out-of-body’-experience. The initial aim was the manipulation of human self-perception by blurring the boundaries between the real and a virtual body. Derived from these experiments, Lukas experimented with few scenarios for a disembodied sense.
Lukas Franciszkiewicz (*1987) holds a bachelor's degree in Industrial Design from the Muthesius Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Kiel, Germany and has worked as a freelance product-designer for Design 3 in Hamburg. Currently he is a student at the Design Interactions department at the Royal College of Art in London.
Inspired by science and video games, Macrostructure is the first episode in a micro-series and story world entitled “What If You Created Artificial Life And It Started Worshipping You”. We are taken on a 3D animated journey through a world inhabited by synthetic life forms and the self-aware machines who manufacture, control, and recycle them.
Eric Schockmel, born 1982 in Luxemburg, lives and works in London. 2008 Master in Communication Design at Central Saint Martins College Of Art And Design.
An architect talks about the city he has built. Gradually we realise that the city is imaginary. His account is an attempt to give his ideas a fixed shape. This, in a nutshell, is the story of Thing. Screened at a very large scale, Thing, is an architectural universe that ceaselessly reveals its own virtuality for it exists only as a nebula of points where in the camera, or actually, the point of view, wanders.
Indeed, the technology used in Thing does not allow talking about a camera since it is made of 3D scans of urban spaces. Instead, we could talk about a point of view, a gaze, or even a body (that wanders).
Anouk De Clercq (°1971 in Ghent) studied piano in Ghent and film at the Sint Lukas Brussels University College of Art and Design. Her films explore the audiovisual potential of computer language to create possible worlds, many of which have a strongly architectonic character. She has received several awards, including an award from the Future Imprint International Animation Competition, Taipei (2003), the International Backup Award New Media in Film, Weimar (2004) and the Illy Prize at Art Brussels (2005). Her works have been shown in Tate Modern, Whitechapel Art Gallery, Centre Pompidou, Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, Transmediale, Ars Electronica, Biennale de l'Image en Mouvement, among others. Anouk De Clercq is affiliated to KASK, School of Arts University College Ghent as an artistic researcher. She lives and works in Brussels.

E-ruqyah is a process of electronical therapy. By performative approach, electronical ruqyah (e-ruqyah) shows an activity of rubbing a cell phone that play Holy Quran verses to the body. In Islam, ruqyah means an exorcism practice or take the negative energy that caused health problems. This process usually was done with reading Holy Quran verses. This video tries further possibilities in outsmarting the limitation of technology.
Born in Bandung West Java, lives and works in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Studied Fine Art at Sanggar Olah Seni Bandung. His creative work began in 2006 with the exploration on many media: Two-dimensional, three-dimensional, objects, mixed media, installation, sculpture and video. Generally, his works are based on investigation or development from a process of creative artistic practice within ‘expanding’ idea, reality, context and content of socio-cultural issues.
“Droll thing life is — that mysterious arrangement of merciless logic for a futile purpose. The most you can hope from it is some knowledge of yourself — that comes too late — a crop of inextinguishable regrets”. –
[Joseph Conrad - Heart of Darkness, 1898]
“The Enthusiast” is rooted in speculations found within neuroscience, surrounding creative or emotional insight. Considering a possible outcome to emerging research in determining a neurological basis for aesthetic appreciation. An enthusiast of Ikebana (the ancient art of flower arranging) has used a company to provide him with data which holds the key to his ‘ideal’ aesthetic arrangement. He is seen to be lost in a world of information, interpreting the data with a home made attempt at defining his personal vision of beauty. This short film weaves these conceptual speculations into a mysterious narrative by illustrating an outcome to a future ‘neuro-aesthetics’ public service. The narrative acts as a series of metaphors, by highlighting a historical approach to defining a creative form (Ikebana / flower arranging) which is placed into a scenario which deals with updated neurological endeavours which can define subjective experiences.
Born 1983; St Albans UK. Nicholas Mortimer brings together cultural studies of media and technology, historical research and theory to explore relations between perceptions of reality, systems of control, and the blurred boundaries of fact and fiction. Within this enquiry there is particular interest in how narratives can be formed to highlight the way in which the media, and technological advancements can shape ideology and inform the design of archetypal human endeavours. Current works combine; detailed scenography, multilayered narratives, and speculative fiction to create character studies of individuals in closed systems of their own design, performing cyclical tasks and speculative obsessions which act as absurdist reflections on current or future issues.

Playing with ants and other insects: ant mimicry in relation to games and culture by Kuai Shen
Jury statement:
Alain Bieber
«Insects have played a major role influencing human society and culture», says Kuai Shen, who calls himself an Insect Media Artist. His impressive research project and interactive bio-installation «Playing with ants & other insects» focuses and reflects social play of ants with mimicry in the human culture of play. This investigation and also Shens impressive installations always combine insects, humans and technology in an educational and entertaining way. This award should support Shen in his research in the field of Biomimetics, post-human ecology and phenomenology and allow him to build more amazing installations. And do not forget was was already told in the bible: «Go to the ant thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise.»
Neja Tomšič
Kuai Shen’s project on ants poses the hypothesis that human technology has been strongly influenced by ants and other insects. As a result of in depth analysis of structures and systems of their labor organisation, mobility, co-dependence and symbiosis with other species, communication, architecture, and decision-making among other, it interprets them as the insect-avatars of human made technological systems. It does so through a playful interdisciplinary installation comprising of an interactive book and computer vision software. But most importantly this project underlines the role of play in socialisation as well as learning. His structure of the alien, the network and the material portal, addresses the three layers of interrelation between complex insect societies and game systems, while playfully exposing ants as a shadow matrix through which the structures and processes in human-designed social and technological systems can be better interpreted and understood.
Deborah Hustić
Biological, scientific and cultural intersections and interplays among species and determined environments are in the focus of Kuan Shen’s artwork. The installation ‘Playing with Ants and other insects’ hence demonstrates to viewers the scientific objectives and the awareness of complexity these kinds of projects can bring in the context of cultural and social studies, most notably gaming theory combined with post-humanism and technology. Metaphorically said we could say that Kuai Shen uses sort of scientific and artistic microscopy in order to get many perspectives on the life of ants through the lenses of different disciplines.

The Future of Robots in Electronic Music by Moritz Simon Geist
Jury statement:
Deborah Hustić
Moritz Simon Geist’s work definitely needs to have a continuation because of the author’s lucidity, persistence and project’s potential to develop in cutting edge playground for grown-ups. The necessity to contribute the growth of music robotics makes it a perfect example for artist-in-residence in order to get the full potential from the author’s vision and hands-on engineering. Robotics can be used in many areas of our everyday lives, hence Mr. Geist’s body of work already made has a great potential to go further in discovering the possibilities of robotics, mechanics and sound art.
Alain Bieber
«What does electronic music lack? Robots!», says robotic engineer and media artist Moritz Simon Geist. And yes, he is right! For years humans are imitating robots (Kraftwerk, Daft Punk etc.) - we finally need more robots imitating humans. Geist has already finished one robotic drum set and I think this Artist-in-Residence-Stipendium is a good way to help him develop his planned ensemble of musical robots. I really like that his concept is treating some important questions of the future, like the perception of technology, the robotization of society or the articifial intelligence, but still comes in a very playful and entertaining way: through electronical music. And a great detail as well: Geist is releasing all drawings and files under Creative Commons.
Neja Tomšič
Turning back to physical roots of electronic music, Geist proposes an open source, hack based approach to different levels of music making – the acoustics, performance and production. His robotic ensembles expose the inner workings of electronic music by turning back to the instruments of the 80s, discovering and illustrating the mechanisms behind the well-known electronic music sound diapason. His proposal expresses a long-term dedication and enthusiasm to his ongoing research on musical robots, with the aim of creating a live performance. The excellence of his proposal as well as his body of work has undoubtedly convinced me his Future of Robots in Electronic Music is the winner in this category.
CYNETART Award in cooperation with HELLERAU (European Centre for the Arts): 5,000 EUR
NIGREDO by Marco Donnarumma & Marije Baalman
Jury statement:
Deborah Hustić
Marco Donnaruma's work places human perception, body and behavioural senses in the first place making this way the intermedia arts and open source design truly a part of creative scientific exploratorium. Donnaruma’s work explores cutting edge bioacoustics and body & mind related topics in a wider scope of self-reflection with an obvious aim to put an individual in the centre of the media, in the centre of self-awareness, and in a way in the centre of technologically determined environment. But on the other hand it also shows the way open source design could be used for the above mention purposes by totally removing technological alienation in order to get us back to our bodies again by fearlessly delving into the unknown and unconscious darkness of sound and stimulation.
Alain Bieber
The installation « Nigredo » from Marco Donnarumma is a a deep travel into the dark unknowns of the subconscious mind, it offers an intimate, personal and intensive experience. The body of the visitor is wired to sensors, the own heart, muscles and vein tissues are producing a sound environment called « Bioacoustics », and the surprising installation leads to a performance where the fine lines of distinction between self and not-self are completly blurred. This artwork combines some things only the best artworks can do : It uses newest science and technology (biofeedback methods and wearable bioacoustic technology) to create this experience, it is still very emotionally (and even physical), it touches and might change you, and for sure, it is a unforgettable experience.
Neja Tomšič
With Nigredo’s seemingly simple and minimalistic auditive, visual and physical set-up, Donnarumma creates a self-containing performance in which all the stimuli and events derive from the performer himself. It places the performance in the event of his self-perception being experientially altered. He metaphorically touches the remains, the waste (the nigredo)- as the materialisation of that which cannot be transformed in alchemic processes. What in the human existence are the remains, which can’t be transformed? The body, the self? This experience of becoming one with the world – losing the feeling of self, is achieved on a physical level, while the performative part is marked by the visitor’s own physical body. The question of the body and its spatial expression expands to theories of consciousness. In the performance we experience the contradiction of transcending our selves, while being conscious that this experience derives from our own bodies themselves. Further details to NIGREDO

humane after people (Ivor Diosi & Darija Czibulka): Molding the Signifier
Jury statement:
Deborah Hustić
Molding the Signifier project presents the importance of consisted and radical devotion to combine ‘the next nature’ of our possible environments and explorations about the way we might perceive it. By using artificial intelligence and BIO cultures authors are researching and marking possible patterns of virtual humanity, but through the layers of linguistics the project is getting deeper comprehension of the machines’ neural processes, as well as human central nervous systems. With a special interest I will follow this work that has deep and multi-layered structure and by its character could evolve enormously.
Neja Tomšič
According to the authors virtual humans are the signifiers of an unknown future. Trapped in the bodies of human projections of perfection, upgraded with simulated responsiveness and emotionality, they speak to us in the language of theory. The installation interprets madness as a process of deconstruction caused by invasive species, underlining the dichotomy of the natural (the model) and the digital. With this synapse it lacks an original approach to addressing the notion of nature, but it nevertheless visualises the invasion of the natural into of the digital, thus simulating a digital madness. We are exposed to their ‘reality’and their ‘nature’. I see the innovation and excellence of Molding the signifier in the effect this model of interpretation achieves: it enables the viewer to deconstruct his own emotional experience and lets him experience empathy when facing a decay and loss of contact with the ‘real’ of the digital humans.
Alain Bieber
Already the interdisciplinary aproach is impressive : This work combines art, cybernetics, ecology, linguistics and biology. During the installation a contaminated biologic culture is in real-time infecting a virtual human and leading into digital mental madness. The virtual human is reacting to visitors, looking and speaking to them, what makes it even stronger. The visitor is forced to become a helpless voyeur of this digital decay. This work is a disturbing artistic research about the uncanny valley and the linguistic theory by Ferdinand de Saussure.

»metamusic« by alien productions
Jury statement:
Neja Tomšič
Metamusic’s subject are animals instead of humans. With this it questions media art, especially its correlation to science and bio-technology, which commonly replicates scientific methodologies and data. Metamusic does not pretend a connection between the natural and the digital, it rather openly divides the two. Human music has no meaning to the parrots, and it therefore provides them tools to build their own. Metamusic playfully detours the usual attempts to connect the natural and the digital by turning the natural into data and signals. At the same time it shows us life, which we enforce upon caged animals- it addresses animal boredom.
Alain Bieber
We all know that animals should be free. But if they are kept in a zoo: Let's try to find the best ways to keep them happy. The Austrian network of media artists Alien Productions are creating interactive sound installations for zoo animals. I like that this project thinks first about the rights and needs of the animals - and not about the humans. It is even realized in collaboration with zoologists and zookeepers. The main aim is to help the animals fight boredom. And as we know from the animal tales from Jean de La Fontaine: We can learn a lot from animals. It is really interesting how the animals use the music instruments and what kind of sounds they are creating. And at the end the birds and the artists can even give a concert together - and are helping us as well to fight boredom.
Deborah Hustić
Animals and human beings, what an unbreakable bond these relations can bring, and this is exactly underlined in Alien Productions's project metamusic. But where is the shift? Human beings tend to make clothes for animals, tend to dictate desired behavior from the animals or to play music for them. But Mr. Math’s way to switch the position and maintain the idea of animals being into position to create the music they want is absolutely amazing. There is no doubt that metamusic has a great potential as a continual project, but if we look at it as a unique work, itself it creates a combination of scientific explorations in biology, zoology, sonology and humanistic behavioral studies combined with intermedia arts. details to metamusic
Another festival's premiere is the interactive space HOLOstage, with which the Dresden based artist Jo Siamon Salich wants to get closer to the dream of immersing in a holographic projection. Salich offers a virtual three-dimensional interaction object for festival visitors. During the introductory performance at CYNETART 2014 dancer Johanna Roggan will occur in a specially designed sound costume and choreography by DAP Lab London.
The prototypical development and artistic research of HOLOstage exemplifies the practical work in the Trans-Media-Lab Hellerau. Inspired by the developments initiated by Klaus Nicolai's European Tele-Plateaus project HOLOstage used to investigate the forms of communication between reality and virtuality and remote border deputies present in the form of three-dimensional avatars. In the real-time interactive confrontation a real person present in person or live performer with one or more avatars, the project deals with spatial presence and our relationship to virtual characters. Salichs artistic vision is to seek for a way to couple his body with a virtual character. He hopes to use them to get to know the essence of the created virtual character. What motivates us to use this form of linking? The extent to which we accept virtual agents, simulations or robots as communicative partners depends on the extent they flatten the difference between them and the human world.

ZITAT:
„ […] Die Performanceplattformen der 18. Ausgabe des Festivals für computergestützte Kunst wollen die Zuschauer vom Bildschirmfenster weglocken. Hin zu einer Wahrnehmungsarchitektur, womöglich auch zurück zum natürlichen Eindruck von Himmel und Körper.“
Uwe Salzbrenner, Sächsische Zeitung, 15./16.11.2014
CY NET ART testifies to the life of intertwined species and shows options of connectivity with specifically designed perception architectures. The modelation of coexistence reflects our understanding of ourselves. Our demand for contact among each other and to other species, so it be purely energetic or mediated, is ongoing.
In the sense of cybernetics comprehension relationships between disciplines and types are drawn, networked together, set into relation to each other. The technical interfaces form the interfaces of the transformation of bodies (ant colonies, human, organic crops, etc.) into data, thus in possible information for process control and the processing of technical procedures. Due to their informal qualities feedback loops offer connections and thus confirm the assumption that all is connected to everything, all mutually conditionally.
From 13 to 19 November, CYNETART festival invites to various atmo-spheres, in which we will meet under the roof of the Festspielhaus Hellerau in Dresden.
The "roomies" of the spaces and spheres will be international media artists, for instance the winners of this year's CYNETART competition or invited in relation to collaborations with world renowned institutions.
As a central point in the Grand Hall of the Festspielhaus there will be to experience a fulldome hemisphere: an extra built large spherical segment as a temporary zone of art. Artists play encircling 360° hemisphere filling projections and sound and thus combine the latest technological possibilities with artistic practice. The self-built "Planetarium" is an area, in which the quest will be: plunge and immerse.
On CYNETART festival
CYNETART is an international festival for interdisciplinary art based on new technologies and media that takes place annually in November in Dresden . It is the focal point of Trans-Media-Akademie Hellerau's activities and an internationally esteemed platform for digital culture. Every year CYNETART provides a vast, but curated overview of current developments in technology-based art. The international festival is an experimental space or laboratory where artists can experiment and play with future art, music and ideas. Projects that engage the festival audience and artists in a participatory experiment in creating a new kinds artworks, new forms of participation, different understanding on art and technologies as well as innovative ways of presenting inspirational creativity.
CYNETART has been showing new trends of cultural developments in the media arts since 1997. The consequences of the prevailing progress of civilisation and the introduction of new information technologies in all fields of social life lead to the disembodiment of perception triggering the examination of a new sensitivity for physical experience and for the perception of one’s own body. The international festival focuses on this change in perception of the body by new information technologies. In this connection the performance of the new technology is less important, it is rather focused on its cultural potential for mediation. This applies e.g. to linkages between existential questions of humankind and how they are perceived. It also applies to the sensual approach to scientific methods of research and the interconnections between the arts.
The festival alternates every two years from a project - festival to award-festival. Project editions focus on projects developed by the TMA Hellerau itself, its associated artists, partners and networks. The award-edition is initiated by an open call, one of the most endowed calls for media art in Europe.

alien productions was founded 1997 by Andrea Sodomka, Martin Breindl, Norbert Math and August Black as a network for working on the theory and practice of new technologies and media. Since 1985 all four artists have transcended boundaries with their technological art—as a group or as individuals, and often in collaboration with other artists. Their work includes media performances and installations, electronic music, net art, radio art, sound art, interactive art, video, the visual arts and artistic photography. alien productions stands especially for cooperative projects with other artists, technicians, theorists and scientists. alien productions is not a group of artists in a classic sense, but an open network, where specialists of different provenance work in an interdisciplinary way. alien productions also contribute to collaborative radio- and internetprojects on a regular base.

HOLOstage is an extension to the idea of the European Tele-Plateaus project (ETP) by the Trans-Media-Akademie Hellerau (TMA). The actual background of the HOLOstage project is the 3D representation of the dancers who not only transmit position data and the silhouette of the virtual performers but in this special case their entire joint coordinate data, either with the help of motion capture in the camera interface or camera systems which PrimeSense depth sensors enable a three-dimensional mapping. In this virtual resolution with real-time transmission the coordinates of the entire body allow to decrypt the dancers as 3D characters.
In the implementation of the aesthetics, it is a wireframe model, which is representative then presented to the presence of the dancers and makes present in a new form. In the model representation this wireframe includes the abstraction of a virtual appearance.
To really stand out as three-dimensional interaction objects for the real dancers available the 3D objects or virtual avatars, which are proxy objects for the performers on the holographic stage, of course need an extension in the visualization then.
Implementation of this new form of three-dimensional presence is the 360° holographic projection, an interactive Cheoptics system with real-time transmission.
For the final performance situation we intend that the real-dancer interacts with three or four avatars and makes contact via image and sound modulation.
When improvising with these otherplace performers and exploring interactive constellations she mediates the simulated presence of virtual dancers directly, so the own creative dance movements happen reactively in a new way.
What is an interaction in a virtual environment when it can give no extended self-experience for the protagonist and no extended immersive experience will arise for the spectators?
HOLOstage is a production of the Trans-Media-Akademie Hellerau, which is funded in a METABODY project development and already in the first stage shows partnerships.

TMA Will
Liebe Freunde und Mitglieder der Trans-Media-Akademie Hellerau e.V.!
Hiermit möchten wir Euch ganz herzlich während des CYNETART Festivals zur
TMA WILL
am Dienstag, 18. November 2014 um 18 Uhr
zum Thema
Prozesse der Zukunft im Erleben gegenwärtiger Medienkunst
in das Festspielhaus Hellerau, Dalcroze Saal
einladen.
Während die diesjährige CYNETART auf Basis des weltweiten Wettbewerbs das gesamte Festspielhaus Hellerau bespielt, wollen wir eine Rückschau wagen. Dies bis hin zu den Anfängen des Festivals, damals noch unter dem Namen COMTECart – Digitale Künste. CYNETART-Gründer Klaus Nicolai und Festivalleiter Thomas Dumke werden uns mittels einer kleinen Präsentation helfen, die zurückliegenden Festivals Revue passieren zu lassen und uns dabei ihre Highlights näher bringen.
Mit Blick zurück wird auch klar, dass die Festivalstruktur zweijährig wechselt. Gerade Medienprojekte haben entweder eine jahrelange Experimentierphase hinter sich oder befinden sich noch in den Untiefen von Anfängen - Entwicklungsprozesse können sich über Jahre hinweg erstrecken.
Die CYNETART ist das wichtigste internationale Festival für computergestützte Performances sowie interaktive Installationen und Environments in Deutschland. Zur bevorstehenden TMA Will wird das Publikum, die Öffentlichkeit im Mittelpunkt stehen.
Was erwarten wir von einem Festival für computergestützte Kunst? Wie gelingt die “kulturellen Reflexion mittels computergestützter Kunst"? Was hat Ihnen bisher besonders gut gefallen, was fehlte Ihnen? Welches Ereignis blieb Ihnen besonders in Erinnerung und warum? Welche Wünsche haben Sie an dieses Festival?
Seien Sie herzlich eingeladen zu dieser offenen und von Katharina Groß moderierten TMA Will Gesprächsrunde. Wir freuen uns auf Ihr Kommen, eine energiereiche Diskussion und bitten um kurze Rückmeldung über An- oder Abwesenheit!
„Diese Veranstaltung wird ermöglicht durch das NATIONALE PERFORMANCE NETZ im Rahmen der Gastspielförderung Tanz aus Mitteln des Beauftragten der Bundesregierung für Kultur und Medien sowie der Kultur- und Kunstministerien der Länder.“
