The PNEK 2016 Summit Seminar
– A one day seminar with international guest and invited speakers
Sunday March 13th, 12:00 – 16:00 @ Meta.Morf, Trondheim 2016. Venue TBA.
Electronic Art: What Now in the Age of the Post-Digital?
During 15 years of existence, the PNEK (Production Network for Electronic Art, Norway) nodes have fostered and produced a remarkable number of electronic and experimental art works. After almost two decades is time to reflect on the nature and possibilities of electronic art. If novel and startling back in the nineties, the digital and electronic domain is now an ordinary element in our everyday lives. How do we proceed through the so-called post-digital landscape? How do we expand the field of artistic thinking, actions and culturally significant manifestations? From the surface of the screen to the deep darkness of ecology, from the electric signal to the bio-aesthetically newborn, where do we go and how do we build the better networks?
