| [Nettime-bold] DEAF 2000 - Machine Times, Rotterdam, 14-26 Nov 2000 |
DEAF 2000 - Machine Times Rotterdam, 14 - 26 November 2000 (main festival week: 14-19 nov) *DEAF - Dutch Electronic Art Festival DEAF, the Dutch Electronic Art Festival, is an international and interdisciplinary bi-annual festival organised by V2_Organisation in Rotterdam (Netherlands). DEAF presents an exhibition of interactive installations, WWW-sites, CD-roms and live performances, seminars, workshops and an academic symposium, all brought together in relation to a special theme. The event brings together a varied group of visitors, artists and critics from home and abroad. * Theme DEAF 2000 'Machine Times' DEAF 2000 will deal with the theme of 'Machine Times'. After all the recent millenial excitement, the festival will take a close look at the role which time plays in the constitution of our technological reality. Ever since Einstein's theory of relativity and Bergson's aesthetics, we have been aware that time forms an indispensible dimension of the reality that surrounds us, and of the way in which we perceive this reality. Temporal structures are built into technological apparatuses, from chronometers and industrial machines, to the frequencies of radios and computers with their ever-increasing processing speeds. But time is also an essential part of our natural existence, our bodies being time machines in themselves, with biological cycles and cellular aging mechanisms. Movement in time is the way in which we perceive, maybe even constitute space, and the most radical boundary of nature is made up of the speed of light, beyond which we transgress into the utopian terrain of time-travel. DEAF 2000 will investigate the phenomenon of time through a variety of formats, in art projects, performances, lectures and film screenings. For updates about the festival, watch the DEAF website and subscribe to the DEAF_info mailing list. [Note: There is no open call for the festival. The festival has a rather strict curatorial policy and we really focus on the theme described above. While we welcome related proposals, we want to discourage people from sending in projects that not really relate to the theme. There is no application form for submitting proposals.] DEAF 2000 V2_Organisation Eendrachtsstraat 10 NL-3012 XL Rotterdam tel: 31.(0)10.206.7272 fax: 31.(0)10.206.7271 mail: [email protected] URL: http://www.v2.nl/deaf/ _______________________________________________ Nettime-bold mailing list [email protected] http://www.nettime.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nettime-bold
