[announce] New Media Art Cybersalon 27/3/13.

This month's Cybersalon is celebrating the past two decades of digital 
creativity in London and will look forward to the city's next burst of 
artistic innovation.

New Media Art in the 1990s was not about a particular art form, but 
rather about exploring the emerging medium itself. Some have called it 
techno-deterministic, others saw it as a rise of new digital aesthetics. 
What is now clear is that the best artworks from this pioneering decade 
explored how the decentralised and open structure the Net encouraged the 
development of virtual and real-life communities. It was this artistic 
avant-garde that would find its home in the rave scene, cybercafes and 
autonomist collectives. In 2013, learning from this formative 
experience, both veterans and newcomers are producing many weird and 
wonderful media artworks for our own times. Come to Cybersalon to 
discuss the past, present and future of new media art in this vibrant 
city. London's greatest contributions to digital aesthetics are yet to come!

All the Speakers

Artist William Latham will show and speak about his early experimental 
work on digital sculptures, developing Mutator and its influence on the
