> Since the mid-1990s, new media has become an important force for
> creative culture and economic development. Supporting institutions
> including Ars Electronica, ZKM and Eyebeam have expanded, while
> interdisciplinary Ph.D. programs at the intersections of art, science,
> and technology have proliferated internationally. Simultaneously,
> mainstream contemporary art experienced dramatic growth, propelled by
> the proliferation of venues from Art Basel Miami to the Shanghai
> Biennial and by the creativity of artists, curators, dealers and
> pedagogues. Yet rarely do these two artworlds meet. As a result, their
> discourses have increasingly diverged. To what extent are new media
> art and mainstream contemporary art commensurable? Is it possible to
> construct a hybrid discourse that offers insights into each, while
> enabling greater mixing between them? What roles have educational
> programs and cultural institutions played in fostering these divides
> and how can they contribute to suturing them? What insights into
> larger questions of emerging art and cultural forms might be gleaned
> by such a rapprochement?
>
> Coordinated and chaired by Edward Shanken, art historian/media
