(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)The workshop by Hiroshi Yoshioka will focus on contemporary art and media art from Japan and other Asian countries in order to discuss economic, political and technological issues.
The works presented will be those by Asian artists from the Ogaki Biennale in 2006 in Japan, along with experimental animation works, which are completely different from what is accepted as “Japanimation” or “Japan Cool,” and with modern computer music projects by Masahiro Miwa and his students.
The students involved in the seminar on Open Source formulate their positions in the following way: » In the context of educational institutions, it is important to pose the question towards the access of free software / media in order to give an alternative to the dominant proprietary software / media. The proprietary media mainly used on the labor market, has shaped the knowledge and skills of students, creating a dependency on these tools. There is a need to understand and not allow ourselves to be blindly subjected towards the structures imposed on us during our educational process.« – Annalisa Cannito, Chui Yong Jian, Philip Leitner, Ivette Mrova.
