Exhibition, screening and performance at iMAL, Center for Digital Cultures and Technology, Brussels

V.O.S.T. OV/OT explores the connections between cinema, video art and digital art. The starting points are subtle, intermediate and functional elements of the cinema industry, such as subtitles and dubbing used by artists for appropriation and diversion. This program gives a central place to language, transcription and translation.

Liverpool Biennial TV

TVC advertisement of an art festival can be done without cutting and mixing excerpts of artists' video and images, not new but would required a much higher skill from the production. I am wondering what is the standard and how is it related to the branding of the festival.

The Joyful Tree
Diller Scofidio + Renfro's Arbores Laetae (Joyful Trees) launched on 20/08/08 before a delighted crowd. The fantastic work is a trailblazer for MADE UP - this year's International 08 exhibition which opens on 20 September. Rick Scofidio, visiting from New York, officially opened the work, describing it as "beautiful, wonderful and a little bit frightening."

The 5th Seoul International Media Art Biennale (media_city seoul 2008) will be held in Seoul Museum of Art from September 12 to November 5, 2008. Seoul International Media Art Biennale has continued and prospered the event and its quality through the past four Biennale since 2000, being much recognized both domestically and internationally as a notable media art festival.

Especially, this 5th Biennale is significant in retracing prior exhibitions for the preparation of the next decade. Therefore it aims at asking fundamental and essential questions, such as “What is media art?” “What is the difference between traditional art and media art?” “What change in art has been caused from this?” and “What kind of effects will this bring?” and it will also attempt to find out the answers of these questions through the exhibition of various media artworks.

The theme of this Biennale is Turn and Widen and it consists of three categories; Section of Light, Section of Communication and Section of Time. The 5th Seoul International Media Art Biennale will be showing artworks by 70 teams from 26 countries. International Symposium, media_city seoul Archive and Matrix S will be held as related events of the Biennale.

Below are a selection of highlights from the b.TWEEN programme:


Thurs 19 June
Protect or Share

http://just-b.com/btween/sessions/protect-or-share

Digitised content is easy to share and copy. That is exactly what people do with it: often illegally and often free. There is no turning back.

Some see this radical change as the tragic demise of traditional business. Others seize disruption as opportunity


User Centric Design

http://just-b.com/btween/sessions/channel-4-cross-platform-innovation

Businesses and products have to be people-shaped or they will not survive this changing media scape


Fri 20 June
When Worlds Collide

http://just-b.com/btween/sessions/when-worlds-collide

It is often said that the impact of new communications technologies never comes as fast as its early adopters believe, but always has a more profound impact than anyone expected


Aggregators & Integrators

http://just-b.com/btween/sessions/aggregators-integrators

In theory, the internet means that businesses can reach their end-users directly. The value chain has been blown wide open and the assumption until recently was that middle men would soon be a distant memory
