Dear friends, We invite you to join us for "Mind the Gap", a european digital culture networking event that will take place in Cluj-Napoca (Romania) in 16-18 June 2006. Culture flows. And it seems that Bernoullis principle laid out in the late 1700s applies well to this kind of fluid too: you just connect two or more cultural - recipients and transfer begins. But what is transferred and when? And what is the direction of transfer? In digital culture technology penetration lag or maturization cycles are just two of the parameters affecting all actors on the cultural scene. How do differences or similarities between connected cultures influence transfer? Either cultural producers or audiences, understanding the phenomena of cultural transfer is to our best interest. It helps us fit in the flow. The meeting aims to contribute to the networking of artists and organisations working in the field of digital culture across Europe and to foster the debate on the trends and developments in media arts in different parts of the continent and the connections and transfers that occur among the producers of digital content.On the same occasion AltArt will officially launch the BINAR Centre for Digital Culture, the first initiative of its kind in the country. Mind the Gap intends to continue the media picnic series initiated by kuda and V2 in 2004 (Trans-European Picnic, Novi Sad) and continued by SCCA/pro.ba (_Sarajevo Picnic_2005, Lost In Transition) in 2005 in Sarajevo. We warmly invite you to join us. And also to contribute to the refining and the selection of the topics to be discussed.
