Theme: Memesis - The Future of Evolution
Format: Exhibition, symposia accompanied by concerts, events and special
art projects which make use of the possibilities of new technologies.
"Memesis" is concerned with "interactivity" as a key cultural technique,
and adresses the question of the evolutionary "fitness" of "memes" - that
is, the cognitive behavioural patterns which are propagated via
communication, and which find what amounts to an ideal environment in the
electronic media. (coincides with opening of the new Ars Electronica
Center)

competition in the area of digital media, Categories: world wide web,
interactive art, computer animation, computer music. Total prize money:

* Cluster Images, Werkleitz, Germany
5 -9 September 1996
Exhibition in the field of film/video, visual arts, performance, new
media/digital images.
"Cluster Images is an attempt to show that clusters, when used in art, may
be of significance, beyond aesthetic indifference, in terms of
differentiation and structure for parallels between networked images. This
could spawn the discovery of a new reference space for such forms of
expression as installation, performance, multimedia construction and
virtual images: a space of social networking. Cluster Images can thus be
seen as an attempt to avoid the vagueness of unrelated snippets of
information in order to turn areas and fields into bundles of information,
where the history of the images can be conveyed and their present form can
be discussed. They would no longer be axiomatic but discursive and prone to
differentiation."
Deadline for applications: 20 April 1996.

*Medienbiennale Leipzig 1997
June 1997
Exhibition, conference (themes still to be defined).
In June 1997 the 3rd Medienbiennale will take place in Leipzig (Germany).
The previous exhibitions took place in the Museum of Fine Arts, Leipzig
(1992) and in the industrial bulding complex of the former textile factory
VEB Buntgarnwerke (1994). In 1994 under the concept of "Minima Media"
(written by Dieter Daniels) the Medienbiennale brought together works by 75
international artists. "The show placed work by newcomers alongside that of
internationally recognized artists, juxtaposed historical key positions
with modern telecommunications projects, brought together artists from East
and West. Media art was understood to embrace a wide range of technical
categories: video, film, audio, interaction, CD-ROM, Internet.
Performances, events and installations in public spaces around Leipzig
expanded the dimensions of the project."
