Festival Ars Electronica - Festival für Kunst, Technologie und Gesellschaft Ars Electronica 2003: CODE Artists / Speakers
CODE Symposium
The Art of Code
Giaco Schiesser (CH)

What effects is digitization having on art? What special characteristics are displayed by code-based art? And how does this inherent, uniquely self-determined expressive vocabulary of digital art manifest itself? What consequences will art as code-according to Kriesche, alone the generative answer to the complete permeation of all partial realities-have for the ongoing development of the arts? In which direction is artists' work with new instruments like algorithms and dynamic systems transforming the process of artistic creativity? Or is the concentration on CODE, this focus on the immediate basis of the technological transformation of art, proceeding along the wrong path, and should the confrontation with media art concentrate on social approaches-collaborative, social modes of action, the potential of connective interfaces-without which there can be no productive and uniquely self-determined human activity?
