eco-poetics.
How might new media environments and technological flows intervene in
eco-culture and eco-politics? What is the relationship between the
techne of eco-poetics and the imperative of eco-politics? How do
internet paradigms of speed, flow, and traffic impact notions of
sustainability? Do mobile technologies and global positioning
systems provide platforms for ecological activism? What about the
military's utilization of ludic gaming systems for digital terror and
ecological devastation? How might new media interventions offset the
media blackouts of the global ecology of war and public health
degradation? How can the artistic mixing of ecological and poetic
materials-organic, inorganic, technological, aural, visual-create
alternative and fertile environments in new media culture?
Please send a description of your project, including conceptual
abstract, technical format, and preview URL, to the Festival On-Line
