In counterbalance to digital part will be made a section of  poor media
art, to present low-tech media, electronic art created with the cheapest
possible technology: videos, objects, installations.

Title of the event "Media Non Grata" is reflecting the situation of
digital art in Estonia, which has not found its respect and
understanding. Digital artists are kind of non-grata-persons,
unacceptable for establishment. During the festival there will be
published a catalogue, which is open for texts on status of digital art
and artists in changing society, low-technological art in high-tech era,
independence/dependency of artistic message from  heapness/expensiveness
of  used means.

for objects or installations. Festival will provide artists with
computers, space in server, screenings place, halls of Estonian Academy
of Arts for installations and presentations.
