Overview
A media congress in an intermedial and multimedia ambience: lectures, installations, performances, webcasts. Station Rose will construct an electronic habitat which offers the possibility of merging the electronic boundaries through the gathering of information and relaxed virtual meetings.
It is a living space which will exist for one day. The 'immaterial' visuals and sounds will flow together with the materialized set up of the installation.Projectors and monitors and also exhibition objects made of specially printed materials will be used. A P.A. system will fill the space. Art objects, individual pieces, created by Station Rose especially for the conference, will be put on the art market afterwards.
Concept
"The concept of network circulates today mainly as a buzz word which, depending on the context, carries a different ideological charge and is inseparably connected with globalization.
From the standpoint of the virtualization of the social dimension, the phenomenon of network culture provides a good example of global interrelation and global networking.
No matter whether it is via e-mail or online communication, groups and milieus arise which in turn generate informal and popular identities. These new social spaces also contribute to overcoming traditional ideas of identity such as national identity.
The title of the symposium is undoubtedly conceived as an eye-catcher, but at the same time it marks the threshold to ultramodernity whose beginning is defined by a new order of world society not least of all on the basis of the digital revolution. Those who have been invited to the symposium, artists and theoreticians, are contemporaries who will each present their own work independently of the symposium's title."
