[Nettime-nl] Image Radio Symposium November 3 Eindhoven (Modified by Geert Lovink) |
We cordially invite you to the Image Radio Symposium:
Urban Screens: prelude of virtual reality in public space?
November 3 | 2:00 - 5:00 pm Van Abbemuseum | Auditorium free
Speakers and forum will address the acceleration of new media penetrating public space from artistic and sociological perspectives. This phenomenon is also known as Urban Screens. Consequently artistic and public participation has become highly significant in city space design.
The panelists represent different backgrounds and will include examples and demonstrations in their discussion. An audience Q & A session will close the symposium, after which a drink in the Van Abbemuseum restaurant will follow.
The symposium is part of Image Radio 2007, a new festival in Eindhoven showing new media in public space. A number of experimental interactive works are featured from Dutch and international artists. A selection of video and computer art is also being shown.
