(mediaarts, festival, mumok, vienna, event, japan, codedcultures, party, pechakucha, hofstallungen)The exhibition of “CODED CULTURES - Exploring Creative Emergences” is presenting international artworks and projects related to the four sub-topics of the festival: Designing Complexity, Assembling Things, Expanding Locality and Creating Proto-Culture.
The presented positions from Japan, Austria and Europe are distinguished by creative practices which explore new forms of media integrated delineation- and knowledge-cultures. By this means they are situated on the intersection of disciplines and have actively integrated different cultural fields in their artistic development.
The exhibition was developed within the course of Dr. Georg Russegger at the department of “Transmedia Arts”. Related to the context of CODED CULTURES and the »Austria-Japan Year 2009« the aim was to explore contents and practices of creative self-design and self-organization, to raise questions about binational cooperations of artists and artistic projects.
(mediaarts, festival, vienna, exhibition, codedcultures, angewandte)In cooperation with “CODED CULTURES - Exploring Creative Emergences” the excellent animation works, awarded by the 11th Japan Media Arts Festival, will be presented in May 2009.
The screening event is taking place at the former Net Culture Space at MuseumsQuartier Vienna.
The Japan Media Arts Festival has been an annual event in Tokyo, Japan since 1997. Its aim is to promote the creation and development of media arts. The Festival highlights creative works not only in art but also in the fields of entertainment, animation and manga. Besides the annual exhibition in Tokyo, the overseas exhibition of this festival is held once a year. The forthcoming exhibition will take place in September 2009 at MQW. For the first time, those media art works will be shown to a European audience as the cutting edge culture with the topic “OTO” meaning “Sound” in Japanese. We hope the audience in Austria enjoys this selection and and are looking forward to intensify the cultural relations between Japan and Austria during the Austria – Japan Year 2009.
