At the Crossroads of Media Arts&Science and Technology
Education in the 21st Century-What is to be Done?

http://forum.lefnet.org/hello

Update zur Mission und den Aktivitäten des Leonardo Education Forum. Kunst und Naturwissenschaften, Design, Technologie und Computer sowie Kommunikationswissenschaften sind Schlüsseldisziplinen, die die zeitgenössische Medienkunst zusammenbringt. Relevante Technologien entwickeln sich jedoch schnell und oft getrennt von den Bildungsinstitutionen.

Infolgedessen gibt es eine Lücke zwischen den technologischen Entwicklungen und ihrer Anwendung in den formalen Bildungssystemen weltweit sowohl in akademischen Lehreinrichtungen wie auch auf gymnasialem Niveau und in hybriden Bildungsszenarios.

„V2_Institute for the Unstable Media“ ist ein interdisziplinäres Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie in Rotterdam (NL). Das „V2_Lab“ hat sich der künstlerischen Forschung und Entwicklung verschrieben. Dort wird an generischen technischen Lösungen für den Kunst und Kulturbereich gearbeitet und die Ergebnisse meist auf der Basis von Open Source zur Verfügung gestellt.

Tarik Barri, Melissa Coleman und David de Buyser haben im Rahmen der künstlerischen Sommerresidenz 2009 Arbeiten in den Bereichen Augmented Reality, Wearable Technology und Interactive Organic Environments entwickelt. „Test_Lab: Summer Sessions“ präsentiert die Ergebnisse dieser Sommerresidenz.

Die Präsentation und Testphase der Werke in der Öffentlichkeit wird begleitet von einer Diskussionsrunde zur aktuellen Bedeutung von Medienlabs. ExpertInnen und VertreterInnen anderer internationaler Labs sind dazu eingeladen.

Tarik Barri (NL) is an audiovisual composer. Through revolutionary new audiovisual composition methods realized with self-made computer software, Tarik aims to discover new synergies and aesthetics in the combination of image and sound.

The Initiative to Create Our Tomorrow MASS CREATIVITY: How the power of “we & technology” transforms the economic world

http://missionfuture.trendpool.com/

Nur auf Einladung

Die dritte MISSION FUTURE @ ARS ELECTRONICA richtet ihren Blick auf die „kreative Masse“. Zu dieser Masse wurde die „creative class“ mittlerweile, die Richard Florida vor fünf Jahren ausgerufen hat. Digital hochgerüstet, verändern die Ritter der Twitterrunde Welt und Wirtschaft in atemberaubendem Tempo. „Do – or die“, diese alte Boxerregel scheint ihr Motto zu sein, wenn sie im Iran per Twitter über Nacht zivilen Ungehorsam organisieren.  Wenn die Anti-Copyright-Bewegung Pirate Bay zum Schrecken der Musik- und Filmbranche wird. Oder wenn ein einzelner wie Aston Kutcher schneller eine Million Followers hinter sich schart als CNN.

Nicht nur dass kluge Marken wie Apple, Mini, Nokia oder Adidas das Potential dieser Co-Creators nützen. Über Nacht entsteht ein völlig neuer Typus von Unternehmen mithilfe von Tools wie Linux, Java, Wikipedia, Facebook und App Store. Denn diese kreative Masse lebt nach eigenen Regeln. “Das bisschen …. (Information, Musik, Video, Kunst, Design, Objekte, Firma) das ich brauche, das mach´ ich mir selber”, ist ihr neues Credo. Mit neuen Fabricators, also persönliche “Nano-Fabriken”, gelingt dies auch. Wie die kreative Welt von morgen aussieht, loten die Impulsgeber von Mission Future im Detail aus.

Morning Session:

Christoph Santner (Zukunfts-Experte und Co-Founder Mission Future) und  Philippe Souidi (Trend-Experte und Co-Founder Mission Future):
10 trends that will shape our future

VIDA 12.0 rewards works of art developed with artificial life technologies and related disciplines: robotics, artificial intelligence, etc. It is looking for works of art with emerging behaviours, which evolve over time, react with their environment and seem to have a life of their own. VIDA 12.0 is searching projects that relate technology with biology and that research synthetic characteristics of modern life.

In previous editions, prizes have been awarded to artistic projects created with robots, avatars, recursive chaotic algorithms, knowbots, cellular automata, computer viruses, virtual ecologies that evolve with user interaction, interactive architectures, augmented reality pieces and works that explore the social aspects of A-life.
