'end repeat' Interstanding 4

http://www.interstanding.ee/intro.html

Interstanding 4 consists from traditional conference and exhibition, the
last will untraditionally occupy also various types of spaces outside the
gallery.

Time: 1.- 18. 11.2001
Space:  Arts Centre Rotermann's Salt Storage, Ahtri 2, Tallinn
W-F 12.00-20.00; Sat.-Sun. 11.00-18.00;
various spaces in Tallinn city.

The main exercise for Interstanding 4: end repeat is to examine the loop.
The uptake of digital technology is pervasive across the many disciplines
of both Arts and Sciences. With uniformity in the hardware, operating
systems and software adopted, a common ground has emerged. This convergence
presents an ideal, although possibly temporary, opportunity for varied
practitioners to collaborate between disciplines. Behind this, an impetus
to innovate is motivating the need to exploit this potential to further
benefit the disciplines in and of themselves.
The over exploitation of visual sense (the screen) in digital art demands
also an investigation into interfaces using other senses characteristic to
humans. Artists are invited to exploit the 'invisible' computer and produce
work which uses communication innovative ways.
End repeat aims to reveal the boundary between the current status of
digital arts and the potential that awaits. The programme of events has
been selected to reveal the conditions necessary for terminating the loop
and progressing into new territories.
