Code:Blue Symposium
Inspired by "blue" as transparency
and deepness, flow and volatility,
expanse and transcendence, the
symposium will examine the
increasingly interconnected global
flux of information in social and
technological networks, reflect on
the remapping and reconfiguration of
cultural landscapes under the new
geopolitical and geo-economical
constellation of the 21st century,
and explore novel ways of artistic
intervention in the post-bubble era
of Web2 hype in which a world market
consolidates the once discursive,
de-centralized net space, and an
attention economy replaces the
traditional economic model, creating
new social classes and cultural
strata. By re-contextualizing
utopian visions and avant-garde
propositions that have been the
driving force of electronic art and
discourse, the symposium proposes
the potentials of media art as
interventionist, constructing
reflexive relationships with
technological vehicles at the
threshold of a new paradigm shift,
seeking alternatives at the
crossroad of planetary civilization
in which global economic
redistribution and transcultural
production both converge and
collide.
Artists, theorists and media and
educational institutions will engage
the audience with their visions,
propositions and strategies
elaborating on the symbolic sign of
Blue - the language of promise.
