REFRESH!
1st INT. CONFERENCE ON THE HISTORIES OF MEDIA ART, SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
September 28 - October 1, Banff New Media Institute, Canada
www.MediaArtHistory.org
"The technology of the modern media has produced
new possibilities of interaction. What is needed is a wider view
encompassing the coming rewards in the context of the treasures
left us by the past experiences, possessions and insights."
R. ARNHEIM, Sommer 2000
- Honorary Chair, Refresh! -
Recognizing the increasing significance of media art for our culture, the
conference on the Histories of Media Art will discuss for the first time the
history of media art within the interdisciplinary and intercultural contexts
of the histories of art. Banff New Media Institute, the Database for Virtual
Art, Leonardo/ISAST and UNESCO DigiArts are collaborating to produce the
first international art history conference covering art and new media, art
and technology, art-science interaction, and the history of media as
pertinent to contemporary art.
The conference will also discuss the documentation, collection, archiving
and preservation of media art. What kind of international networks must be
created to advance appropriate policies for collection and conservation?
What kind of new technologies do we need to optimize research efforts and
information exchange?
Held at The Banff Centre REFRESH will feature lectures by invited speakers
as well as others selected by an international jury from 350 received paper
proposals.
