Today, according to > several voices – Rosalind Krauss, Lev Manovich, Peter Weibel and > Domenico Quaranta – we have entered the post-media age; there is no > any single medium anymore that dominates in contemporary media art > practices that are rather engaged with contemporaneity and critical > thinking. The huge diversity of “post-media art” was profoundly > explored also in the Fields exhibition (Riga 2014, fields.rixc.org), > curated by Raitis Smits, Armin Medosch and Rasa Smite. The Fields > showed that art in post-media conditions contains highly > transformative and visionary potential. However, symbolic and > aesthetic qualities, as well as critical, investigative and > confrontational aspects also proved to be just as important for > “post-media art” to maintain a line between physical and mental, > realities and utopias. > > CALL for Conference Proposals: > We welcome proposals by artists, curators, theorists, academic > researchers and other lateral thinkers to share their ideas and > research with regards to the following themes: > > * post-media art - avantgarde practices and theories > * slow media art, preservation challenges for the museums > * art and science, building techno-ecological perspective > * technopolitical investigations into the informational paradigm > * big data and “media visualizations” > * culture for sustainable development in the Baltic Sea region > > Call for Exhibition Artworks: > The conference will be complemented by Art+Communication 2015 festival > exhibition that will also contribute in building post-media > perspective.
