/Sampling, hacking, pirating, appropriating/ – these are only a few of
the manifold creative techniques that are part of contemporary artistic
practices. They are often inherently correlated to the use of digital
and networked media. These practices put in question the traditional
concept of art and literature as being a product created by
identifiable, personal author-geniuses. Nevertheless, individual
authorship is still the dominant concept in contemporary art production.
Despite several obituaries (e.g. by Roland Barthes and Michel Foucault),
the concept of the individual author never really died: artistic and
literary practices self-mystified the author, even in fields which
obviously rely on creative cooperations like film, theatre and
multimedia installations. Taking this seeming contradiction into
account, the conference turns both to historical as well as to current
artistic practices within various media and fields of communication.
