Jan van Eyck Academie invites…

Art and New Media
Lectures and debates

28 February – 1 March 2003

On Friday 28 February and Saturday 1 March three activities on art and
new media will take place at the Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht.
Interested parties are more than welcome to attend the lectures and
debates.

28 February | 14.00 – 17.00 hours | Media Cultures/Petri Dishes
Anticipating the round table of Saturday 1 March several lectures will
take place:

What is 'moi’? A small display of desire-technologies
Moderator: Jannah Loontjens (philosopher, poet and writer, Amsterdam)

28 February | 19.00 – 21.30 hours | Art and New Media - Exploring the
Interface
We are facing a rapid cross fertilisation of art and new media. New
forms of digital art are constantly emerging, but the esthetical
exploration of these new forms is still largely to be established.
Which theoretical frameworks are most apt to reflect upon the
esthetical implications of digital art?
The event is part of Art in Dispute, a series of debates organised by
Prof. Dr Antoon Van den Braembussche on behalf of the Dutch Association
of Aesthetics (NGE).

Moderator: Antoon Van den Braembussche (Philosopher of Art, Erasmus
University Rotterdam and the Free University of Brussels) Panel members:
Yves Bernard (iMal group of Brussels, artist/theorist specialised in
Interactive Art Projects), Sue Golding <Johnny de philo> (Chair of
Philosophy in the Visual Arts and Communication Technologies (London)
and advising researcher, Department of Theory, Jan van Eyck Academie,
Maastricht), Giles Lane (Research Fellow in Communication, Art &
Design, School of Communications, Royal College of Art, London,
Visiting Research Associate at the London School of Economics and
director of Proboscis), Renée van de Vall (Philosopher of art,
University of Maastricht. Member Dutch association of Aesthetics)

1 March | 14.00 – 17.00 hours | What are Media?
In continuing pursuit of the somewhat elusive 'what is/what are?'
question(s), the department of Theory at the Jan van Eyck Academie
presents its second roundtable: What are media? Practitioners in the
field, critics, and inhabitors of philosophy, design and the arts wish
to discuss around the table what is meant when speaking of this all
consuming word 'media'.

Visual Arts and Communication Technologies (London) and advising
researcher, Department of Theory, Jan van Eyck Academie, Maastricht).
