Tactics and Practice: New Media Drivers
a pilot seminar in new media arts
www.aksioma.org/seminar

1 – 5 June 2010, Kino Šiška, Ljubljana, Slovenia

New media arts. Whether you make it, curate it, present it, write  
about it, teach it, programme it, or shape it in some other way, its  
constantly evolving technologies, a tendency to venture into unknown  
territories and mingle with diverse disciplines, and a predisposition  
for critical self-reflection and social discourse fuse new media arts  
into a fast-paced field that demands frequent updating of the drivers  
that operate its machinery.

Thus, the 5-day pilot seminar Tactics and Practice: New Media Drivers  
aims to refresh and expand the new media arts educational offering in  
Slovenia and provide useful tools and insights into the field for  
creators at various stages in their careers. By utilizing various  
teaching methods and modalities (lectures, coaching sessions,  
workshops, conversations, participatory actions, performances,  
presentations) the seminar connects the new generation of new media  
arts creators with renowned professionals in the field to build a  
bridge from an academic “learning environment” to a “working  
environment”, and champions the values of process-oriented and  
lifelong learning through direct contact, communication, and dialogue.

The seminar compiles a snapshot of the state of new media art today  
from different angles while at the same time wanting to “demystify”  
it. Regardless of how you currently contribute or seek to contribute  
to the field, you are invited to participate in the week’s events and  
update your own new media drivers.
