schade! cu the celebration georg russegger On Jan 17, 2012, at 7:50 AM, CONT3XT.NET wrote: Dear Network, Partners, and Friends! CONT3XT.NET is a Vienna-based initiative founded in January 2006. Programmatically, this group of artists, curators and writers - their different roles and functions sometimes regarded strictly, sometimes as a fluid continuum - work at the basis of contemporary visual, textual and networked practices. Starting from the idea of the context as the most indecisive and variable but relevant constraint of any situation, the collective reflects upon the spatial, temporal, discursive as well as the institutional framework that conceptual artistic practices (on the Internet and elsewhere) are rooted in today. After six successful years of intense, diverting, and precarious work with a whole bunch of online and offline exhibitions, conversations about (new media) art with (new media) artists, online discussions and online reasearch as well as lectures, talks and presentations inside and outside Austria, after three publications outlining the basic ideas of our main projects, we decided to stop CONT3XT.NET by January 2012. Nevertheless we will keep on working - sometimes collaboratively, sometimes as a fluid continuum. If you wish to contact us or send some feedback, please write an e-mail to the following address and stay tuned: former-at-cont3xt-dot-net If you wish to celebrate the past six years with us, let's have a drink: New Bar, Rotensterngasse / Zirkusgasse, 1020 Vienna Friday, 10 February 2012, 8 p.m. Map: http://g.co/maps/2cejw Many thanks for your support!

[NetBehaviour] CODED CULTURES - Exploring Creative Emergences
CODED CULTURES -Exploring Creative Emergences Binational Festival to explore new artistic creative Ability-Profiles within media integrated Delineation Cultures further details are available at: www.codedcultures.net Loctation: MuseumsQuartier Vienna Opening: May 27th 2009 Freiraum/quartier21 Symposium:May 28th - May 31st 2009 - Museum of Modern Art Vienna Exhibition: May 27th - June 07th 2009 - Freiraum/quartier21 ABOUT CODED CULTURES - Exploring Creative Emergences The second edition of CODED CULTURES is a binational festival (Austria – Japan) in the year 2009 to explore new artistic practices and creative ability profiles within media integrated project-cultures and digital media related art, focusing on Japan and Europe. The festival is part of the official »Austria – Japan Year 2009«. Through the establishment of new creative cultures, enabled by digital media and global communication networks, new practices and ability profiles of creative and artistic delineation and exploration are gaining new grounds. Furthermore, economic models are eager to create synergies with symbolic values of cultural and artistic programs to deal with the potentials of »creativity«. At the moment these profiles are roughly subsumed (e.g. as »creative class«), but at the present day it is difficult to predict which catalysts and draft programs can be put into effect for these creative innovation processes. On the other hand it has to be questioned if innovation like it is understood by policy makers of entrepreneurship is a desired state for artistic projects and networks. This phenomena which is set up via global nodes of creativity (e.g. networks, communities, organizations, projects, etc.) is more and more uprooting disciplinary guidelines and permitted structures of local traditions. Therefore, this vectors have changed the ways of cooperation and development in socio-cultural production paradigms. CODED CULTURES is asking how artistic and creative projects are dealing with this conditions and in which way they support or antagonize this developments. In this context »new« things happen based on cultural conditions of transformation, which have departed from established mechanisms of delineation and creation. They activate an innovation-fabric which does not yet have any adequate surface for the assessment of observations and mediations in such transformation processes. »CODED CULTURES – Exploring Creative Emergences« enables and presents artistic-creative production coherences which are based on digitally linked media-cultural organizations and actively integrate these into the delineation process of their operating level. Thereby, new options of interaction emerge within the intersection of art / culture / economics / knowledge development / idea aggregation / intermediation a.s.o. This parameters are integrated in the conditions of digital communication and media technologies, as well as their conditions of participation. Therefore, the festival creates a surrounding in which new ways of emerging arts, creativity, theories, projects and ideas can be explored in the field of digital media related forms of creative delineation and arts. The particular aim is to present, discuss and criticize topics, which are situated on the intersection of disciplines and activities in order to enforce new potentials of artistic practices and positions. By these means, persons who derive joy from discovering ways to circumvent limitations, are welcome to take part of the festival. Regarding this, CODED CULTURES is presenting projects, works, theories and networks which are shaping new vectors of creation and art situated between: e.g. Science Art, Technology Art, Design Art, Fashion Art, Economy Art, a.s.o.
