[spectre] Fwd: bringing tm.07 Media Art Undone online

[Valeska Buehrer]

friends,

we have produced a transcript of the 'Media Art Undone' conference 
panel at transmediale.07 and have put it online in a rather raw 
design at

http://www.mikro.in-berlin.de/wiki/tiki-index.php?page=MAU

we thought that for the moment it would be more important to have it 
out quickly, than to wait for fancy design.

please, inform me or valeska buehrer about any flaws or mistakes you 
find, and remember to credit the Digital Platform in Belgium if you 
make reference to this online publication. (thanks to Dirk de Wit for 
supporting the work on the transcription!)

best regards,
-ab

Media Art Undone

A conference panel at transmediale.07 in Berlin, on 3.2.2007

The panel 'Media Art Undone' revisited a seemingly everlasting 
international discussion on the definitions of media art which is 
bound to continue, not least on mailing lists like Spectre and CRUMB.

We here offer a full transcript of the presentations and the 
following discussion.

http://www.mikro.in-berlin.de/wiki/tiki-index.php?page=MAU


The participants discussed whether it is time to let go of the label 
'media art' altogether, and to strive for a re-inscription of 
media-based art practices into broader art discourses. They 
investigated the legitimation of a self-contained discourse on media 
art and analysed the terminology itself as well as the relations 
between modes of production, technology, contemporaneity, mass media 
and media theory. Raising questions on the current state of media 
art, the role of copyright and intellectual property, culture and 
subculture, the panel asked if the categorisations and definitions of 
media art and media cultural practices that used to justify their - 
positive and negative - discrimination, are still valid today.

Participants: Diedrich Diederichsen (de), Inke Arns (de), Olia 
Lialina (ru/de), Timothy Druckrey (us)
Moderator: Miguel Leal (pt)
