Olhares de Outono

This year we celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Digital Arts Festival “Olhares de Outono”, an organization from CITAR (Research Center in the fields of Science and Technology of the Arts) of the Catholics University at Oporto ( http://olhares-outono.ucp.pt/ ).
Under the theme “Research in Digital Arts: Outlooks”, CITAR has the pleasure to host, once again, from the 19th to the 26th of November of 2009, conferences, workshops, events, and artists talks.
This topic aims to promote reflection regarding the progress and the development of the research as well as discussion on the new borders and future directions of the area. In our perspective, Digital Art is a multidisciplinary field that congregates art, science, and practices that appropriate digital technology as a mean of expression.
This year’s event keeps the same goals of the previous years, that is: to involve the public, to inform the community and to support the artists in their creative process, agreement and appreciation of the Digital Arts. We will continue with a model that in itself seemed, since the beginning, to adjust to this type of events. Once again there will be a place for workshops, open conferences, events, and artists talks to everyone and with free admission.
The organization, once again, appeals to your participation in order to promote the open and frank dialogue around the inherent concepts to the theme of “Research in Digital Arts: Outlooks”, with the aim to distinguish, to compare, to contextualize the Digital Arts with the other more traditional forms of plastic expression.

I think “the digital” is a new way of stating an old question around the relation or tension between “analogical” and “logical” representations of the world.  Mapping is one particular example, fascinating to me in the way that it both emphasizes and takes advantage of that dichotomy.

Playground

De derde editie van Playground brengt opnieuw een reeks voorstellingen, projecten en installaties samen van beeldende kunstenaars, theatermakers en choreografen met een aparte kijk op onze hedendaagse samenleving. Kunstenaars die hun artistieke praktijk niet langer in de traditionele disciplines situeren en die media als performance, installatie, film en interactief werk combineren.

Het programma bestaat uit twee nauw met elkaar verbonden en overlappende delen: een reeks voorstellingen en een tentoonstellingsluik. Enerzijds een aantal producties van internationale gezelschappen die de grenzen van dans, film, theater, muziek en beeldende kunst overbruggen of aftasten. Anderzijds een uitgebreide tentoonstelling doorheen de verschillende zalen van het STUKgebouw. De kunstenaars in dit luik onderzoeken in films of installaties noties als spel, beweging, performance en theatraliteit. Sommige kunstenaars zijn in beide delen terug te vinden. Binnen het festival heeft ook een symposium plaats i.s.m. de Appel over alternatieve manieren om performances en kunstprojecten te presenteren en te documenteren.

Maja Kuzmanovic shares some questions triggered by “Post-Flux”:

Can a flux ever end?
Why is there a ‘new media’ fatigue?
What happened to the digital pioneers of the ’90s?
What will happen when digital becomes suffused in the physical in the everyday context?
How can open (re)source culture be adapted from software to all human endeavours?
Can personal fabrication change our approach to global capitalism?
What hybrid cultural forms can arise from combining digital technologies & traditional crafts?

Fluidity

The “challenge of fluidity” is the focus of what would be the essence of the conversations during Post-Flux, and before, and of course after.
A project of Post-Flux publication is in the cooking. More soon …
