Trondheim Electronical Arts Centre welcomes you to the third annual minifestival for new technology and electronic arts: TRONDHEIM MATCHMAKING 2004!
-wednesday 13th -thursday 14th -friday 15th -saturday 16th -sunday 17th of October 2004. Trondheim Matchmaking is a meeting point to present innovative ideas and artistic projects, a place to ensure and develop competence and resources within new technology and electronic arts. New art projects with a need for technology – new technologies with a need for substance: an attempt to bind together resources and competence within the field. Till this year's festival, like last year, we've invited international capacities, that in addition to local and national researchers and artists present a very diverse set of artistic- and research- projects within new technologies and electronical art. All togheter more than 50 participants! In addition to presentations and concerts at Blue Garden, we arrange, in cooperation with Theater AvantGarden performances with Verdensteateret and Kreutzer Kompani at Trondheim Kunstmuseum and TAG. New of this year is that we curate and produce an exhibition at Trøndelag Senter for Samtidskunst, opening saturday, October 16th (see below). This year's festival is among other themes focusing on electronical art in public spaces. We see an increasing demand for electronic art as permanent public installations. This bring upon us a whole new range of issues to be mapped and discussed. PNEK, the Production Network for Electronic Arts, Norway, has in cocperation with NOTAM recently published a book on the subject. We have invited Janne Stang Dahl (PNEK coordinator) and co-editor of the book, "Elektronisk kunst i det offentlige rom" (Electronic Arts in Public Spaces) to enlighten this subject. Following up on this, we've brought a row full of artists to present a diverse set of artistic projects, like for instance: Natalie Jeremijenko, artist/ professor, UCSD, San Diego, "Fishy Interactions", human interaction with fish (for possible permanent location in Trondheim), Anna Hill, artist, Dublin: "Space Synnaps Systems" (sculptures in space), Even Westvang, artist, Oslo, "Nomen Nominandum" (digital decor. Byåsen skole), Helen Varley, netartist, London: "Upstage" (open-source application, creating a web-based venue for 'cyberformance'.), Bjarne Kvinnsland, composer, Oslo, "The Tunnel of Light". We take a closer look at the and demoscene, Multimedia art created by hacker and cracker artist; Lassi Tasajärvi, Helsinki, presents the first nordic book on the subject: "Demoscene: The Art of Real-Time". |
