Exception Handling - PZi Graduation Show
http://www.v2.nl/events/exception-handling

V2_ is pleased to present "Exception Handling," the graduation show of 
the Master of the Media Design & Communication program at the Piet Zwart 
Institute, a postgraduate program of the Willem de Kooning Academy / 
Rotterdam University.

Exhibition Opening: July 6, 20:00, Eendrachtsstraat 10, Rotterdam. 
Afterparty in WORM.

With: Fako Berkers (NL), Mirjam Dissel (NL), Danny van der Kleij 
(NL),Lena Müller (DE), Tomás Navarro (ES/IT), Laurier Rochon 
(CA),Quinten Swagerman (NL) and Lieven Van Speybroeck (BE). Curated by 
Willie Stehouwer (NL).

Exception Handling is a term for a particular procedure in writing 
computer code. Wikipedia defines it as, "The process of responding to 
the occurrence, during computation, of exceptions -- anomalous or 
exceptional situations requiring special processing -- often changing 
the normal flow of program execution."

It is the recognition of the anomalous and exceptional, and the devising 
of a 'special processing' that becomes the theme that threads through 
the work of the artists exhibited. In each case the artists seek to 
create a media language that allows situations ranging from the most 
personal and intimate to the most widely political to be researched, 
explored and embodied in a media object that addresses the uniqueness of 
the topic. These projects all seek to "change the normal flow 
of program execution," and avoid mirroring the deafening barrage of 
cliché that forms our media landscape.??

The show brings together the previously distinct disciplines of 
Networked and Lens-Based digital media and presents work across an 
expanded range of disciplines. To reflect this new breadth or media 
practice within the department, the graduation show is an ambitious 
co-operation between V2_Institute for the Unstable Media, TENT and 
WORM:  showcasing work that ranges across a triptych of short films to 
radio broadcasts of encrypted narrative, to steam powered analogue 
'holograms,' with many other media-hybrids in-between.
