artMUSE – Alliance of Media Art Events in Europe

“Facing the future – from industrial to post digital revolution”



15.07.2011 – 17.07.2011



*artMUSE *is an alliance of autonomous media art events, taking place
parallel in time but far from each other in five different European
countries. The live performances, participative media art events, screenings
and exhibitions taking place from the 14th -17th of July 2011.



*artMUSE* is dedicated to the creative energy, which uses earlier
developments to realize ideas about the present and the future.  The
project’s aim is to join industrial history and digital culture in media
art. In *artMUSE* the historical effects face the contemporary tendencies of
art of our times of digitalization, as they have been rarely presented
together. The project *artMUSE* opens up new vistas of discussion and
cooperation between both fields. It supports this process by combining
common industrial heritage with common themes of the present and future. The
inclusion of media, programming and informatics in applied media art and
artistic techniques is an emblematic feature of our contemporary society in
Europe: the connection between art and technology is an initial point and at
the same time motor of present-day social and cultural initiatives. The
integration of new media in cultural processes builds up a base for the
latest media art.  Beside the technical developments the new user-culture
tools playing an important role in artistic praxis as well, e. g. in its
certain way of perception, aesthetics, interaction with the viewers and
participation of them. These could be seen as inducements of nowadays
artistic processes, the matter of perception and reflection or the
communication with the beholder.



Therefore the artworks will be presented in a new context, of course in
real, but also their documentations will be virtually available.
Additionally, beside the six live events artMUSE has an online festival part
/artMUSE – Online/, showing video and net art pieces only virtually.

*artMUSE* is a cooperation between the LWL - Textile Museum in Bocholt,
Germany, the Nordwolle Delmenhorst Industry Culture Museum, Germany, the
National Polytechnic Museum in Sofia, Bulgaria, the City Museum of Bitola in
Macedonia, the Museum for Industrial Archeology and Textile in Ghent,
Belgium and the Gdansk City Gallery, in Poland. In all the institutions a
festival event related to the above mentioned topic will take place.   These
institutions dedicate their activity, partly or in it’s entirely, to
industrial history and all of them are interested in presenting new media
art.

The artistic Projects are curated by an international board of experts:
Jürgen Amthor (DE), Iwona Bigos (PL), Eline Chalmet (BE), Ann Van
Nieuwenhuyse (BE), Svetozara Kararadeva (BG), Martin Koplin (DE),
Hans-Hermann Precht (DE), Lívia Rózsás (HU), Irena Ruzin (MK), Nadine
Schober (DE), Hermann-Josef Stenkamp (DE), Ekatarina Tsekova (BG).



*artMUSE* activities, as well as the exhibited artworks and the live
performances will be documented, and uploaded to the European Corner’s
system, to make them permanently available after the festival events in the
participating institutions. The European Corner is an interactive media
installation, which enables a long term connection between the participating
museums. The audience can browse on three touch screens the collections of
the museums and also the contents of the Art Channel, where the
documentation of *artMUSE* live and online events will be available. The
European Corner is developed in the framework of MaX – Museums at Public
Access and Participation project founded by the European Commission.



*artMUSE* furthermore incite its guests to communicate and work together
with each other, by encouraging the local artists and the audience to
participate. For instance in Bocholt in the LWL Textile Museum with the
guidance of a group of Polish artists, Share:Krakow an Open Share Jam.





The alliance of the festival events are organized, together with the
participating institutions, the M2C Institute for Applied Media Technology
and Culture, and the University of Applied Sciences Bremen.
