Symposium

Positions in flux: On the changing role of the artist and institution in 
the networked society

Symposium venue: Trouwgebouw Amsterdam, Wibautstraat 131, Amsterdam 
http://www.trouwamsterdam.nl
Friday, May 8th, 2009 9:00 - 18:00 hrs
Organised by the Netherlands Media Art Institute

The symposium will center on some of the major questions regarding the 
current and future development of contemporary art and digital culture: 
Which impact has art on politics and can it contribute to the solution 
of conflicts? How does the wide spread of digital technologies influence 
the creation of art and mould individual digital cultures? Are there new 
models of art production and curating coming up? The three panel 
discussions follow a clear thematic scheme and try to bring in as much 
expertise and viewpoints as possible. The conference language is English.
