transmediale at Bienal de Video Y Nuevos Medios from November 19 to
December 7

The up-coming Biennial of Video and New Media in Santiago de Chile has
invited the renowned festival transmediale to show outstanding artistic
media productions at the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Biennial¹s
venue, from November 19 to December 7, 2003.

In 2003, the Biennial is organized by the Chilean Video Corporation in
co-operation with the Museum of Contemporary Art, Santiago, the
Goethe-Institute e.V., the Ministry of Education (Cultural Department)
in Chile, the Ministry of External Affairs (Cultural Matters) and the
French-Chilean Cultural Institute, under the patronage of the University
of Chile (Faculty of Arts).

The Biennial was founded in 1993 with the objective of reflecting
tendencies in media art, with a special focus on video art. Since then,
the Biennial has broadened its programme, attempting to mirror all kinds
of innovative artistic expressions with audio-visual media.

With the invitation of the festival transmediale, the organizers hope to
introduce a European perspective on media art and to expand their
festival¹s programme into interactive and generative art. The Ministry
of Education will support the publication of a catalogue of the
transmediale selection for the Biennial.

For the 6th Biennial of Video and New Media transmediale has selected a
number of works that perfectly represent the festival¹s range of
programme and its focus on interactive and software based art work.
Installations, audio-visual performances, several screenings of video
art, a series of CD-ROM and Internet projects and artists¹ workshops
will give an insight into international media art production presented
at transmediale. Thus transmediale aims to stimulate locally the
critical reflection on the role of digital media in contemporary society
and the creation of artistic work with new technology far beyond
traditional video art.

Taking into consideration that digital art in Chile is strongly driven
by image and sound, the works selected by transmediale both take up this
art practice and cross its borders.

The art works that have been selected for transmediale_extended_vol.1
hopefully will initiate a strong debate and support the creative
expansion of artistic expressions with media in Chile.
