Media arts / Nomenclature, issues, and current history

N. Bachand, 2012

Media arts / Nomenclature, issues, and current history is a series of workshops where current aspects of what is still called “media art” will be explored. The thorny question of terminology will serve as a starting point, followed by discussions on the contexts of dissemination and curating. Questions surrounding digital versus analogue, robotics and audiovisual performances, network art, game art, interactivity, sound art, electronics, open source and DIY practices will also be discussed, concluding with an overview of the issues and broad lines of reflexivity running through current media art, both in theory and practice, and perhaps even some ideas on what its future might be.
