[spectre] VIPER BASEL 2002

[Thomas Keller]

VIPER BASEL International Festival for Film, Video and New Media

For four days and four nights =AD from Wednesday 23 to Sunday 27 October =AD
Basel will again be the lively meeting point for the Swiss and internationa=
l
film and media art scene. The range of entries includes analogue and digita=
l
video, film and computer animation, interactive projects and internet-based
works, whereby the focus is not so much on the carrier-media as on the
media-specific strategies and narrative concepts.

When handling new media we are being repeatedly confronted with ever new
challenges worldwide. Radically new forms of communication between people
and apparatus are becoming established and new knowledge models and network=
s
are giving rise to alternative forms of social action. VIPER Basel 2002
addresses these highly controversial issues under the motto public |
private. The debate will concentrate on the tension between individual and
collective integration into the computer-supported structures of
contemporary societies. VIPER raises the critical question of the innovativ=
e
potential and the aesthetic and political impact of the new media. For wher=
e
technologies aim to be innovative and art seeks a position, parameters such
as perception, individual and society, presentation and communication are
being fundamentally questioned.

Locations: Festival Center Theater Basel, Stadtkino Basel, Kultkino Camera
