*CALL OUTLINE

The festival »CODED CULTURES - Exploring Creative 
Emergences« addresses questions regarding
the codes of creative cultures and artistic 
practices, which are based on new 
transdisciplinary and
hybrid developments of culture and art under the 
conditions of a post-contemporary digital 
media-age
and transformations of related artistic 
developments. Therefore, the festival creates a 
surrounding in
which new ways of emerging arts, creativity, 
theories, projects and ideas can be explored in 
the field
of digital media related forms of creative 
delineation and arts. The particular aim is to 
present, discuss
and criticize topics, which are situated on the 
intersection of disciplines and activities in 
order to enforce
new potentials of artistic practices and 
positions. By these means, persons from the field 
of digital media
related art and culture, who derive joy from 
discovering ways to circumvent limitations are 
welcome to
submit their works, projects, theories and ideas. 
Regarding this, CODED CULTURES is mainly searching
for projects, which shape new vectors of creation 
and art, situated between: e.g. Science & Art,
Technology & Art, Design & Art, Fashion & Art, Economy & Art, a.s.o.

ABOUT CODED CULTURES - Exploring Creative Emergences

The second edition of CODED CULTURES is a 
binational festival (Austria - Japan) in the year 
2009
to explore new artistic practices and creative 
ability profiles within media integrated 
project-cultures
and digital media related art, focusing on Japan and Europe.

Through the establishment of new creative 
cultures, enabled by digital media and global 
communication
networks, new practices and ability profiles for 
creative and artistic delineation and exploration 
are gaining
new grounds. Furthermore, synergies of symbolic 
values of cultural and economic programs dealing 
with
the potentials of »creativity« can be observed. 
At the moment these profiles are roughly subsumed
(e.g. as »creative class«), but at the present 
day it is still difficult to predict which 
catalysts and draft programs
will be put into effect for creative innovation 
processes or artistic entrepreneurship. This 
global phenomena,
which is being set up via nodes of creativity 
(e.g. networks, communities, organizations, 
projects, etc.) is
becoming more and more uprooted from disciplinary 
guidelines and permitted structures of local 
traditions.
Therefore, new ways of cooperation and 
development of socio-cultural production 
paradigms have been introduced.

In this context »new« things happen based on 
cultural conditions of transformation, which have 
departed from
the usual mechanisms of production and 
distribution and create an innovation-fabric, 
which does not yet have
any adequate surface for the presentation of the 
observation and mediation of such transformation 
processes.
The concept of »CODED CULTURES - Exploring 
Creative Emergences« presents artistic-creative 
production
mechanisms, which are based on digitally linked 
media-cultural organizations, and actively 
integrate these into
the delineation process of their innovational 
operating level. Thereby, new options of 
coherence emerge on the
further development of the parameters of art / 
culture / economics / knowledge development / 
idea aggregation /
intermediation / participation, for digital 
communication and media technologies, as well as 
their conditions of
participation, are being integrated.

Therefore, the festival creates a surrounding in 
which new ways of emerging arts, creativity, 
theories, projects
and ideas can be explored in the field of digital 
media related forms of creative delineation and 
arts. The particular
aim is to present, discuss and criticize topics, 
which are situated on the intersection of 
disciplines and activities in
order to enforce new potentials of artistic 
practices and positions. By these means, persons 
from the field of digital
media related art and culture, who derive joy 
from discovering ways to circumvent limitations, 
are welcome to
submit their works, projects, theories and ideas. 
Regarding this, CODED CULTURES is mainly 
searching for
projects, which are shaping new vectors of creation and art situated between:
e.g. Science & Art, Technology & Art, Design & 
Art, Fashion & Art, Economy & Art, a.s.o.
