THE AIM OF THE SYMPOSIUM
The aim of the international symposium (New)Media Art in Museums is
to consider status of (new)media art in museum collections,
conditions of keeping, protection, modes of exhibiting and all the
changes that (new) media art introduces into the everyday practice
of contemporary museums.
Special attention will be paid to the specifics regarding production
and rights that evolve from interrelations between museum – author
– agency – certified producer. By employing the main subject: What
are new media? – the symposium will thematically process temporal
definition, production, keeping and presenting of (new)media art, as
well as artistic features and influences that new media and digital
technologies exert on contemporary museum presentation practice.
SPHERES AND MAIN SUBJECTS
new media and cultural heritage
production / artwork
the diversity of museum material and the status of (new)media
artworks in museum collections
the conditions of keeping and the modes of exhibiting
the museum in a role of producer, risks, rights and duties,
experiences and prognoses
the influence of technological development on museum institutions,
interaction between (new)media – institution - artists
global information system and museums
Detail information on symposium:
By organizing the symposium (New)Media Art in Museums we wish to
stimulate colleagues from the museum profession and artists towards
reflection, writing and discussion on interesting and actual subject
of new and digital media, the various means in which the latter are
implemented into museum activities and art creation, as well as their
influence in forming the views on contemporary world.
The symposium's subject is defined, yet opened towards problematizing
the experiences and insights from both theory and practice.
We take special interest in the present state of artworks from the
countries of the symposium's participants, as well as in
institutional interest and actual artists. We hope for the high
number of participants as it will enable us to develop discussion,
provide practical examples and create conditions for quality
comparison. We wish to reach conclusions on situation both within the
region and globally.
We take special interest in discussing the following subjects:
- relation between media and museums
- the percentage of representation of (new)media works in
the specialized museums of visual art
- institutions' relation to (new)media museum items
- author's rights (author and collaborators...)
- relation between original and copy (the number of copies,
ethics)
- conservatorial procedures that are applied when a (new)
media artwork is endangered due to a process in which it happens to
be (keeping, outdated technology)
Abstracts, papers:
Besides five invited international experts we expect applications
from museum professionals, artists and other interested experts from
Croatia and abroad.
We shall accept only the original, unpublished papers, previously not
presented in public.

by MMSU in 2009. The expositions will be presented orally, along with
multimedia presentation.
