NETMAGE 02


CREATIVE AND INNOVATIVE IMAGES ON ART, MEDIA, COMMUNICATION

 INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL
 produced in collaboration with Diesel

 Bologna  December 6th - 9th, 2001














=46rom the 6th through the 9th of December,  the city of Bologna will host
the second edition of Netmage, an international festival dedicated to
celebrating innovation in the vast field of contemporary visual arts.



Netmage 02 will focus primarily on multimedia design - on images and on
cutting-edge "styling."  Our aim is a celebration of the new, the
innovative, the talented.



A multiscreen projector, developed explicitly for this event, will enable
the viewing of original audiovisual materials produced ad hoc for the first
ever European prize in video-jing, the artistic medium which utilizes web,
CD rom, dvd, and video clips in exciting live performances before an
audience. =20


 Over the course of its four days, Netmage will serve as the meeting point
for young creative minds and talented multi-media artists from all over
Europe.


The 2001 edition is produced in collaboration with Diesel, thus enabling
the creation of the Netmage Diesel Award.  This prize will be awarded on
the fourth day of the festival by a jury of experts.  The first and second
prize consist in the funding to produce an original showreel of the
artists' work.



Every night, special guests will perform live electronic and eletroacoustic
music.  Specifically, three international groups, renowned for their fame
in this field, are invited: the Norsq (Paris), the Farmersmanuelle (Mego -
Vienna) and the Dat Politics (Paris).



Performances which make innovative use of images are also in store. The
theatrical group Motus will debut the new edition of their Rooms project
 (Room 101), an experiment in digital imaging.  Rooms is installation; at
once theatre and cinema; real, hyperreal and fiction.  In this performance,
Motus creates for us two parallel worlds: a hotel room and a second
"digital" room, which changes and interacts with the first.



Netmage will also host a series of afternoon workshops (illustrating
international scenarios, involving screenings and discussions) led by
specially invited production teams.  Among these, London's Onedotzero and
Paris' Batofar.  We will close with a workshop illustrating the birth of
the new Italian art scene curated by Rome's Ala Est .



Every day, the curious festival-goer will have the opportunity to browse
materials related to artists and guests in a special consulting library.



Netmage was created and realized by Xing, a team active in Bologna, Milan,
Rome and Paris, dedicated to celebrating the arts without
artificially-imposed boundaries:  music, performance, visual arts, cinema,
and communications media.
