New media art is a global phenomenon: a rapidly changing and dynamic field of creative practice which crosses conventional categories and disciplinary boundaries, challenging our assumptions about art.
- How do curators engage with new media art? - What makes a good curator of new media art? - What can we learn from the pioneers of this field? - What does the future hold for curating new media art? - What common ground exists with other disciplines?
These and other issues will be explored at Art-Place-Technology. Speakers who are shaping the practice and theory of curating new media art include:
Inke Arns, Hartware MedienKunstVerein, Dortmund. Sarah Cook, CRUMB, University of Sunderland Pierre-Yves Desaive, Fine Arts Museum of Belgium, Brussels Paul Domela, Liverpool Biennial Lina Dzuverovic, Electra, London Charlie Gere, Lancaster University Beryl Graham, CRUMB, University of Sunderland Ceri Hand, FACT, Liverpool Drew Hemment, Futuresonic, Manchester Kathy Rae Huffman, Cornerhouse, Manchester Stephen Kovats, V2, Rotterdam Amanda McDonald Crowley, Eyebeam Art & Technology Center, New York Francis McKee, Glasgow International & CCA, Glasgow Trebor Scholz, Institute for Distributed Creativity, New York Dimitrina Sevova & Alain Kessi, codeflow, Zurich Paul Sullivan, Static Gallery, Liverpool Simon Worthington, Mute, London
Art-Place-Technology will look at historical and current projects by some of the world's leading curators of new media art, and discuss how curating new media art creates interfaces with the art world, museum culture, media, publishing and academia. The symposium also includes a performance by LoVid, and a curator's tour of the exhibition "Howlin' Wolf" by Mark Lewis at FACT.
