Konsequenz - A multimedia discussion evening with code flow (Kopie 1)Presentation (in english)
A multimedia discussion evening with code flow, about "Cfront
Ending", the telephone interviews from their newest book "KonsequenZ"
and an outlook on their new upcoming media project "Critique of Pure
Image - Between Fake and Quotation". code flow is: Dimitrina Sevova,
curator of Communication Front, media artist and theorist from
Bulgaria; Alain Kessi, media activist, programmer and media theorist
from Switzerland.
An international media art and theory platform closed down.
Communication Front is ending. What kind of transformation has swept
away the community of networked artists? The pragmatic use of channels
of information seems to have doomed the East-West context in
contemporary media art. We’d like to invite you to explore the topic
and some possible answers with us, starting with materials from and
around our newest book: "KonsequenZ".
The book grew out of a workshop we ran as part of the "Konsequenz"
project curated by Frederikke Hansen in Shedhalle, Zurich in December
2002, taking up the ideas and expanding on them. What moral questions
are posed by the redesign of the European map, and art going global?
How would you like the world to be? And you, yourself, how do you
live? Do your personal values and actual behavior correspond? Does
geography have a bearing on these questions? In telephone interviews
(live from Shedhalle) with artists, theorists and activists involved in
the East-West discussion we sought to find personal answers to these
questions.
The last contribution in the book, "CFront Ending", takes us
directly to the launch of our new "International Project for High and
Low Technics in Contemporary Media Art" under the topic "Critique of
Pure Image – Between Fake and Quotation" in the Center for Contemporary
Art, Plovdiv, Bulgaria in collaboration with the Art Today Media Lab.
