We interrupt your regularly scheduled program... exhibited at the 3rd Beijing International New Media Arts Exhibition and Symposium 2006, July 21 - July 30, 2006, China Millennium Museum in Beijing

The new millennium has witnessed the growing vitality throughout the world of new media art, an art mediated via digital means, often with the internet as its platform. This emerging art, originating from an increasingly technologically dependent society, not only challenges traditional creative media, and ways of thinking, but also posits to artists and cultural workers new questions concerning all realms of contemporary life. Under the auspices of Millennium Dialogue, the First and Second Beijing International New Media Arts Exhibition and Symposium successfully mounted two ground-breaking exhibitions and symposia in 2004 and 2005 respectively at the China Millennium Museum in Beijing. Enlisting a number of key players in the realm of media art throughout the world as partners, "Millennium Dialogue" aims at establishing a global, constructive platform for dialogue and exchange with the most current discourse in new media arts production and theorization to advance and promote digital arts and education in China. At the helm of the project are three prominent institutions, with Tsinghua University as host, one of the most acclaimed research and educational institutions of China, joined by ZKM | Center for Art and Media of Karlsruhe, Germany, the World

We interrupt your regularly scheduled program... presented at MIXEDMEDIA: media art, architecture, sound/audiovideo, Hangar Bicocca, Viale Sarca 336 - Milan, Italy

Observing many of the artistic experiences of the last five years tied to the new media, we seem to foresee a growing consolidation of the abused Mcluhanian Assumption of Coincidence between medium and message. The role of new technologies in the creative contemporary journey seems to defer more often from a merely instrumental function and instead seems to find itself more frequently in a research in which they assume various shapes and forms, becoming subject, object and the space of the process itself. An entity tightly correlated in a system of indissoluble relationships with the creative idea itself becoming a project and therefore a construction. [Excerpt from a curatorial text by Paolo Rigamonti, Gianluca Milesi, Marco Mancuso]

Light Attack performed at BEYOND MEDIA, international festival of architecture and media, Florence, Italy

The eighth edition of BEYOND MEDIA, scheduled to take place in Florence December 1st-11th, 2005, will focus the national and international attention on very up-to-date topics, that will be the occasion for developing a series of significant occasions for a public exchange of ideas. The venues of the event are Brunelleschi\'s Ospedale degli Innocenti and the Stazione Leopolda. The festival will once again promote a dialogue between the world of architectural production and the larger universe of communication. It will do so with a rich program of meetings, projections and exhibitions which will present the most significant contemporary researches in a way that will be interesting both for specialists and the public at large. The theme for the 8th edition of BEYOND MEDIA is "SCRIPT". How can architecture today talk about itself? Which narrative forms are linked to the idea of the project, of its external expressions, of its publicity? How does design structure its languages and how does it express the culture of our times by means of a contemporary way of writing? Which paths do emerging creatives follow in order to approach the new modes of expression which are made possible by the digital tools and by the new media? "SCRIPT" will offer an opportunity for thinking about a wide range of topics that are at the center of the design culture today.

Light Attack awarded with the NABI special honourable mention, UNESCO Digital Arts Award 2005 - City and Creative Media

Creating the conditions of people-centred sustainable urban development within an increasingly urbanized world is more and more accentuated across the globe. Cities are subject to innumerable pressures that affect their inhabitants, but can also bring about change, social progress, and cultural diversity through imaginative and creative initiatives. Cities could truly be centres for expression of cultural diversity and places of vitality where creators working in different fields of arts act as catalysts in mobilizing impetus from unique realities and experiences within urban environment. Facing the growing presence of information and communication technology within every aspect of our lives, digital technology and communication media have brought new perceptions and socio-cultural interactions in the urban environment, transforming the way in which we experience our cities. The concepts of space, time, and social relationship from every sphere of the urban life experience are put in flux via communication technologies such as internet, mobile phones, wireless network, and locative media. Therefore, at the intersections of art, design, technology, and socio-cultural conditions, young artists around the world are invited to participate in the UNESCO Digital Arts Award 2005 to reflect on how urban spaces and city environments could be transformed into creative outlets cultivating artistic innovation and new forms of expression.

Light Attack at dorkbot Southern California

Light Attack is a media artwork, as well as a social experiment, which takes place the urban sphere of Los Angeles. While driving through the city, an animated virtual character is projected onto the cityscape of L.A. exploring three places "to go" and three places "not to go", according to the popular Lonely Planet travel guide. Light Attack elaborates the concept of the "moving moving" image in the stereotyped neighborhoods of Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Downtown, Watts, and Compton. The virtual character, projected from a moving vehicle onto the city facades, reacts to the architectural context, and interacts with passers-by while "walking" through the city. The character's actions are condensed in a gallery installation, reflecting projection as an emergent ubiquitous medium. The piece raises questions about property and privacy. How public is public space? How projection, as a medium, changing the environment in which we live? More information at http://daniel-sauter.com/light_attack

we interrupt your regularly scheduled program... at Ars Electronica 2004, OK Center, Linz, Austria.

Each single frame of a TV program is compressed down to the size of one pixel, resulting in flowing patterns of color that get their structure from the content of the images and the rhythm of the editing of the TV program. News produces horizontal colorations; cuts are projected as vertical lines, zooms as curves; commercials turn into vibrating color patterns. By changing channels, the user can experiment with the relationship between program and sound and the corresponding projection. Prix Ars Electronica 2004, Honorary Mention Interactive Art
