Objet : [NEW-MEDIA-CURATING] Distribution after New Media - Feb/Mar Theme
Date : lun., févr. 20, 2012 13:29
This month's theme on the list is Distribution and Dissemination after New Media and is hosted by Marialaura Ghidini and Beryl Graham
The connected new media of streaming, web broadcasting and narrowcasting, smartphone apps and augmented reality offer intriguing opportunities for art and culture. At a time when the Arts Council and NESTA are considering funding structures for new media as a means of distribution (http://www.nesta.org.uk/areas_of_work/creative_economy/digital_rnd), this a key issue for curators, artists, educators and others interested in how media might meet their audiences, and how new media might be distributive art in itself, as well as a means to an end.
This theme therefore deals with issues of:
What happens to ideas of the 'live', over time?
What kinds of audiences?
How are artists using distributive media?
This theme is related to the upcoming CRUMB Professional Development Workshop on the subject taking place on the 5th March in Newcastle, as part of the AV Festival (http://www.crumbweb.org/getSeminarDetail.php?id=17)
The workshop will see three invited speakers presenting their curatorial practice and projects in response to the above subject:
- Ajay RS Hothi; Manager and Curator at tank.tv
- Roger McKinley; Research and Innovation Manager at FACT, Liverpool, who has led on the development of Artplayer.tv
- Robert Sakrowski, art historian, artist and curator based in Berlin and initiator of the project curatingYouTube.net
The workshop leader will also join the discussion of the theme on the list, presenting issues that will raise from the March event in Newcastle.
