It will shape new contact zones <br>> between traditionally separated domains – art and science, academic <br>> research and independent creative practices, sustainable businesses <br>> and social engagement in the 21st century.<br>> <br>> The 1st conference edition will take place in Riga, from October 8-10, <br>> 2015, and it will primarily focus on exploring the transformative <br>> potential of art in the post-media conditions. Today, according to <br>> several voices – Rosalind Krauss, Lev Manovich, Peter Weibel and <br>> Domenico Quaranta – we have entered the post-media age; there is no <br>> any single medium anymore that dominates in contemporary media art <br>> practices that are rather engaged with contemporaneity and critical <br>> thinking. The huge diversity of “post-media art” was profoundly <br>> explored also in the Fields exhibition (Riga 2014, fields.rixc.org), <br>> curated by Raitis Smits, Armin Medosch and Rasa Smite. The Fields <br>> showed that art in post-media conditions contains highly <br>> transformative and visionary potential. However, symbolic and <br>> aesthetic qualities, as well as critical, investigative and <br>> confrontational aspects also proved to be just as important for <br>> “post-media art” to maintain a line between physical and mental, <br>> realities and utopias.<br>> <br>> CALL for Conference Proposals:<br>> We welcome proposals by artists, curators, theorists, academic <br>> researchers and other lateral thinkers to share their ideas and <br>> research with regards to the following themes:<br>> <br>> * post-media art - avantgarde practices and theories<br>> * slow media art, preservation challenges for the museums<br>> * art and science, building techno-ecological perspective<br>> * technopolitical investigations into the informational paradigm<br>> * big data and “media visualizations”<br>> * culture for sustainable development in the Baltic Sea region<br>> <br>> Call for Exhibition Artworks:<br>> The conference will be complemented by Art+Communication 2015 festival <br>> exhibition that will also contribute in building post-media <br>> perspective. We invite artists to propose their works that by blurring <br>> the boundaries between different disciplines are developing visions <br>> for more sustainable and imaginative ways of life.<br>> <br>> DEADLINE: March 20, 2015<br>> <br>> Please submit your conference proposal (abstract 250 words, biography <br>> 200 words) and/or proposal for artwork (description of idea, images, <br>> links, etc. and short biography – 200 words) by sending via e-mail: <br>> rixc@rixc.lv or website: http://rixc.org (“openconf” submission page <br>> will be opened soon)<br>> <br>> * Conference International Advisory board:<br>> Dieter Daniels, Douglas Kahn, Katja Kwastek, Armin Medosch, Regine <br>> Debatty, Gediminas Urbonas, Misko Suvakovic, and others.<br>> <br>> * Conference chair: Rasa Smite.

The workshop<br>> participants will collect data and will provide comprehensive analyses<br>> concerning the causes, main actors as well the consequences of urban<br>> changes and impact on the society standards. By this research platform we<br>> wish to examine the structural determinants of public space and how it<br>> relates to the dominant activities both of the state—a public<br>> institution—and of business and commercial interests— the private interests<br>> under modern “Asian” type of capitalism.<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> Mobile Workshop tutor:<br>> <br>> In the capacity of workshop tutor Vladimir Us will share his knowledge and<br>> experience in reclaiming public space through artistic practices in<br>> conjunction with a range of projects organized by the Oberliht Association<br>> in the past seven years, highlighting a number of artistic interventions<br>> which took place outside of traditional cultural institutions (the projects<br>> INTERVENTIONS, CHIOSK, the Civic Centre of Chisinau).
