“St(Age) of Participation” is an artistic research project that the Ars Electronica Futurelab has launched in 2011 together with media artist and choreographer Klaus Obermaier (AT) to test new participative, multimedia forms of stage-based performance. In addition to presenting the project and its objectives, the panelist will be discussing the concepts of the theatrical stage and the dramatic performance, and what the future might bring in this context.
Pixelspaces Day 2: Art Meets Science / Art Makes Science
The time has come to set up new shared spaces that enable science and art to come out and “play.” Spaces in which each can observe the way the other works, in which each can learn from the other, and can do some collaborative tinkering on innovations for the society of the future. In addition to this paradigm of interdisciplinarity, Day 2 of the Pixelspaces Symposium will deal with another current trend: the expansion of the concept of research in the direction of gaining artistic insights. Artists are increasingly emancipating themselves and assuming the role of independent researcher. The increasing attention this is garnering will be illustrated during the panel with reference to new subsidy programs and artistic research projects. Which all goes to show that: Art Makes Science.
