>The Aesthetic Interface
>
>9-13 May 2007
>
>Aarhus University, Denmark
>
>The interface is the primary cultural form of
>the digital age. Here the invisible
>technological dimensions of the computer are
>given form in order to meet human perception and
>agency. This encounter is enacted through
>aesthetic forms stemming not only from the
>functional domains and tools, but increasingly
>also from aesthetic traditions, the old media
>and from the new media aesthetics. This
>interplay takes place both in software
>interfaces, where aesthetic and cultural
>perspectives are gaining ground, in the digital
>arts and in our general technological culture -
>keywords range from experience oriented design
>and creative software to software studies,
>software art, new media, digital arts, techno
>culture and digital activism.
>This conference will focus on how the encounter
>of the functional and the representational in
>the interface shapes contemporary art,
>aesthetics and culture. What are the dimensions
>of the aesthetic interface, what are the
>potentials, clashes and breakdowns? Which kinds
>of criticism, aesthetic praxes and forms of
>action are possible and necessary?
>The conference is accompanied by an exhibition and workshops.
