All the best, Inke Date: Tue, 04 Nov 1997 04:23:06 +0000 From: daxl-fuelepp <mediainmotion@berlin.snafu.de> MEDIA-SCAPE 5 Zagreb 19.-27. November 1997 International Symposium and Exhibition for Art, Media and Culture What is Media-Scape? It was always the driving spindle and the elixir of avant-garde art to condense intellectual trends, social developments and technical innovations to become an up-to-date artistic interpretation of reality. Media-Scape is pointing critically on this developments, their pre-history and their future perspectives. The concept of present trends, historical passages and future visions are presented through various lectures, film and video-screenings, exhibitions and performances. Referring to the considerable and pioneering symposia "Dialogue with the Machine" (Zagreb 1969) and "Television Today" (Zagreb 1972) and the important role of Zagreb in the Fine Arts and Design, the event marks the necessity of a human-shaped media-landscape and present concepts, ideas and artistic reflections in the new, emerging media art. In May 1991, during the international CAD-Forum, symposium for Architecture and Design, for the first time media-artists and theoreticians came together. They discussed the role of new media and their artistic applications and initiated the Media-Scape event. Because of the war situation in Croatia, it took two years to organise the first Media-Scape. In 1993 the symposium under the title "Integration of New Technologies" went along with video screenings and an exhibition of holography and digital-image-collages. The event took place in the Museum Mimara and focused on the themes in the field of virtual reality, holography, political influence on media as well as new streams in video art and computer animation. In 1994 Media-Scape 2 hosted the symposium under the title "Open Traditions". Experiences in the field of the new media in Eastern European countries were confronted with the experiences of the Western European Countries. The symposium, screenings and an exhibtion of flag-paintings and monitor-objects of the Hungarian artist Antal Lux took place in the building of the Zagreb Multimedia Centre. In an old printing factory video installations of several Croatian video artists were presented. 1995 Media-Scapes venue was the beautiful building of the Croatian Artists Association, constructed in 1936 by the sculptor Ivan Mestrovic. The exhibition showed the mutual basis of new and old media. The concept of the exhibition was enlarged to creative CD-ROM and Internet projects. In the frame of symposium with the theme "Turbulences of Tradition", besides lectures and artist presentations, also concerts of electronic / computer music were organized. In addition an Internet Cafe was opened, the first of its kind in Croatia. 1996 Media-Scape 4 followed the ideas of previous Media-Scape events, with extension to performance art. The exhibition which took place in the Museum of Contemporary Art showed references to the past war in Croatia, but also future visions of art under technological influence. The symposium and video screenings were held in the house of the Society of Croatian Architects. The theme "Conditions and Inventions" was oriented more on artists presentation than scientific discourses. Media-Scape 5 will take place again in the Museum of Contemporary Art in Zagreb. The exhibition will focus the variety of perception through extended technical means. Artists such as Akiko Hada, Franz John, Marko Kosnik, Darko Fritz, Ina Abuschenko Matwejewa and others will present their works as media objects, video installations, copy-art, photography, electronic graphic as well as Internet and CD-ROM projects. The symposium will be organized more as a round table, where artists can communicate more closely with the public.
