[Nettime-bold] cast01: Symposium on Communication of Art, Science and Technology |
call for participation / submission deadline 31.05.2001 / Schloss Birlinghoven, Sankt Augustin (Bonn), 20-22.09.2001 cast01: Symposium on Communication of Art, Science and Technology We invite you to participate in the cast01 symposium on intersections of artistic, cultural, technological and scientific issues of: Living in Mixed Realities What does it mean to live, play and work in a world shaped and perceived through digital media, networks and architectures of real-virtual space? The development of complex communication spaces, life environments and economic models is an interplay of technical, social, and artistic forces - Mixed Realities of Art, Science and Technology. The design of a Mixed Reality Architecture, which connects processes in virtual space to the social environments and cultural practices of real places, presents challenges to technologists, scientists and artists alike. In such an architecture the basic design elements are networked structures for new forms of collaborative work and knowledge discovery, human-centred interaction and awareness, media spaces and advanced interfaces. At cast01 scientists will present technologies and infrastructures that address these challenges. Artists will present aesthetic concepts of digital culture and new interactive media formats. cast01 is an invitation for a discussion between artistic practices and the forefront of research and development of information technologies. cast01 is organised by netzspannung.org and by the GMD - German National Research Center for Information Technology. It is supported by the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research (bmb+f) and by the European Commission. http://netzspannung.org/cast01 e-mail: cast01@netzspannung.org Monika Fleischmann / Wolfgang Strauss MARS - Exploratory Media Lab GMD - Institute for Media Communication Schloss Birlinghoven D-53754 Sankt Augustin, Germany OBJECTIVES: On September 20-22, 2001 cast01 will present inspiring media art and innovative research projects from the EU Information Society Technologies programme (IST).
