Mobile Lab for Interactive Media Artists : 2nd

2nd THESSALONIKI BIENNALE OF CONTEMPORARY ART
Parallel Programme
e-MobiLArt / European Mobile Lab for interactive media Artists
Duration: May 20th - June 10th
Venue: Warehouse ÉÝ1, Thessaloniki Port

The group exhibition titled "e-MobiLArt" is 
taking place during 20 May - 10 June in the
context of the European project e-MobiLart 
(European Mobile Lab for interactive media
Artists) scheduled activities.

The exhibition is organized by the State Museum 
of Contemporary Art and is taking place as a 
parallel event of the 2nd Thessaloniki Biennale 
(<http://www.thessalonikibiennale.gr/>www.thessalonikibiennale.gr).

The 11 exhibited interactive installation 
artworks are the result of collaboration amongst 
33
participating artists, supported by a team of 
established theorists, artists and scientists,
active in the intersecting fields of art, science and technology.

These artworks involve the use of interactive 
media, ubiquitous computing, communication 
networks, mobile and locative media technologies.

The e-MobiLArt project aimed at providing the 33 
selected participants with a multicultural,
interdisciplinary context, for supporting their 
collaboration and the creation of their
artworks. During the e-MobiLArt project three 
separate artistic events in the form of
workshops took place in three different European 
countries (Greece, Finland and Austria).

In these workshops, participants formed groups 
and worked collaboratively for developing
their projects while being provided with 
necessary technical, theoretical and curatorial
support.

Cultural operators (State Museum of Modern Art of Thessaloniki, Gallery of the
Academy of Fine Arts - Katowice, Leonardo/OLATS) and Universities (National and
Kapodistrian University of Athens, University of 
Applied Arts Vienna and University of
Lapland, Group Haute Ecole ICHEC Saint Louis) 
from six different European Countries
(Greece, Austria, Finland, Poland, France, 
Belgium) co-operated in order to support the
collaborative efforts of the participating new media artists/scientists.

The e-MobiLArt process and its artistic results, 
which are presented in the exhibition, are
the subject of a two-day Symposium organized on May 21st-22nd in the Seminars
venue in Warehouse C, Thessaloniki port.

During the symposium a short presentation of the 
project and its activities will take place and 
the artists' groups will talk about their 
collaborative experience and will present their 
exhibited artworks. This will be followed by two 
panel discussions on the curatorial, the artistic 
and the organizational perspectives into the 
collaborative process.

Invited lecturers in the symposium are Roger 
Malina (astrophysicist and executive editor of 
Leonardo, the most important journal on Art, 
Science and Technology published by MIT Press), 
Claudine Dussolier (director of the cultural 
organisation ZINC, Marseille), Ekmel Ertan 
(artistic director of the international festival 
AMBER, Instanbul) and the creative team NeMe 
(Cyprus).

During the exhibition in the exterior area of 
Warehouse B1 in the Thessaloniki port, two
events will take place:

* the performance titled "Miasma: A Vienna 
Underground/Third Woman Performance", by Anna 
Dumitriu in collaboration with local performers
