Micz Flor  (Berlin), lecture
>economy of networking at the end of networking economy<
Since the economic bubble burst - which became more of an earth-quake
than a hard landing - new media and networking have lost their hard
currency. But have the lost their cultural currency? Micz Flor gives a
cynical overview of the recent media-magic history with a positive
outlook.

Micz Flor is media developer and training consultant at the Center for
Advanced Media - Prague, where he initialised Campware. Over the past
years he has been working with independent media institutions in the
south-east of Europe as well as Asia. Besides his work in consultancy,
training and development, Flor has been organising a series of cultural
events and symposia

Gabriele Mackert
presentation of the exhibition Tele(visions)

Tele(visions) shows how artists have absorbed, critically challenged,
and occasionally reinvented their TV experience in their work, analyzing
and ironizing couch potatoes, talk-show hosts, quiz shows and TV news,
glamorous prime-time shows, the circus of afternoon talk-shows. The
exhibition documents artists=92 initiatives for a different TV, presents
ways of continuous image recycling and shows that TV is more than an
easily accessible mine for video art.
The various influences of, and responses to, TV in different generations
of artists are presented here for the first time in broad range. The
show is a unique compilation of more than eighty works with a special
focus on the 1980s and =9290s. Paintings, photographs, sculptures,
installations, videos, and film excerpts illustrate the intense
attention that artists from diverse social and ideological backgrounds
have given to TV, both playfully and seriously. Far beyond the usual
lamentation about the encroachment of the mass taste of mainstream
cultural industry on visual art, Tele(visions) reflects the creative,
critical, and complex potential of this reciprocal relationship.



Curator: Joshua Decter, New York
Project Manager: Gabriele Mackert
Gabriele Mackert is working as a curator in Kunsthalle Wien and she is
one of the Tele(visions) exhibition curator.
