:: DANUBE TELE LECTURES at Danube University Krems ::
:: Day 1 ::
"DOES THE WEST STILL EXIST? Are There Boundaries of West, East and Far-East
in the World of Images Now?"
Lectures and debate with Sarat MAHARAJ and Machiko KUSAHARA
Hollywood, computer games, net and media art, micromovies, new devices*
images are undergoing a new internationalization never known before, and are
increasingly being charged as a vehicle of ideologies and worldview.
Seemingly bygone clashes between image opponents and image believers are
reanimated in contemporary media to include all areas of art, science,
politics and economy - now on a global scale. Can we still speak of images
of the west today? Do we witness the arousal of a global visual language
enriched universally by the various cultures, or are we at the brink of an
'image war', representing extremes between the old and new economic powers
and their visual culture?
:: Day 2 ::
"PYGMALION TENDENCIES: Bioart and Its Precursors"
Lectures and debate with Gunalan NADARAJAN and Jens HAUSER
Art and the natural sciences are forming a new interconnection that is
closer than in past centuries. Recent developments in art such as Bioart,
Techno-art, Genetic or Transgenic Art bring artists into the scientific
laboratories and carry their visions to the general public. Not only do
artists work cross-pollinated, they also create new creatures, frequently
revealing spectacular spaces of reflection on new possibilities.
International experts discuss these tensions oscillating between body and
nature on one hand and artificial life and illusion on the other - none the
least, in their historical contexts.
:: The CENTER FOR IMAGE SCIENCE at Danube University Krems is an institution
for innovative research and teaching on the complete range of image forms.
The Center is situated in the beautiful Wachau, Austria - a UNESCO world
heritage site - in the Goettweig Monastery and is housed in a fourteenth
century castle. It is the base of the public documentation platforms
www.virtualart.at and www.mediaarthistory.org. The Center's new low
residency postgraduate master's programs in MEDIAARTHISTORIES, PHOTOGRAPHY,
and IMAGE MANAGEMENT are internationally unique.
