Stelarc, Ear On Arm. www.earonarm.net
Today, where the tension and exchange between digital and biological existence is becoming ever more evident, a new situation of art emerges. Evolving in-between the atoms and the bits, in the words of Roy Ascott, art performs in ’wet’ interfaces. Using the term ’moist’ media, he addresses the occasion where technological innovative art is moving out of the boundaries of ’digital art’, and away from the screens and ’interactivity’. Instead, art finds itself in a new situation, where a tension between techno-aesthetic and bio-logical (perceptual) systems are central.
PORT 20:10 International Conference / BIOTOPIA SYMPOSIUM examines how art and artists 'manage' this situation - how it navigates the wet zone - and how artists enter into new roles as scientific investigators or...?
What is the ideal situation of Bio + art? Are we approaching a 'Biotopia' – does it exist?
What happens in the nexus of social + technology + art?
