| Syndicate: CRAC in Context expands. New update! |
From: CRAC <[email protected]> Date: Mon, 29 Nov 1999 14:47:56 +0100 This is a press release to you from CRAC - Creative Room for Art and Computing Stockholm. Welcome to a refill of CRAC in Context, the netpublication/hompage published by CRAC. CRAC in Context continues to examine the combination of art and digital media. CRAC in Context traces narrow paths and fast broadbands in search of projects, phenomena, theories, or conversations to present. Now, CRAC in Context has been replenished with 20 new texts and a large number of new video sequences, sounds and images. Tuesday the 7:th of December we are launching the update of CRAC in Context at http://www.crac.org. This is CRAC in Context #2: As usual we present a number of artists which are members of CRAC. And whose projects have been carried out in whole or in part with resources from CRAC. Meet Bigert & BergstrÂm, Lova Hamilton, Ann-Sofi SidÃ?n, Annika StrÂm, Per Teljer, Sophie Tottie, and Charlotte ?bergh. Some of these have a secure place on the international art scene. You will also be able to read reflections contributed by a series of writers, for instance Magnus B?rtÃ?s, Eva-Lotta Holm Flach, Robert Fleck, Nils Forsberg, Sonia Hedstrand, Mats Stjernstedt, Jan Svenungsson, and Annika Hansson. The second type of texts and conversations added to the site deals with the area of digital media and art which is located outside of CRAC, but which we naturally form a part of. Both nationally and internationally. Now you can read, among others, the Russian American media theorist and artist Lev Manovich's texts "Avant-garde as Software", and "Navigable Space". HÃ?kan Nilsson ponders the collaboration between legendary ambient group Zoviet-France, choreographer Ika Johannesen, and stage designer Jens Sethzman. Media theorist and practitioner Micz Flor delivers an excerpt from his lecture "The Digital Revolution: a private revolution?". Charlotte Bydler examines digital art at the Istanbul biennial, and artist and engineer Tore Nilsson reports on Siggraph 99 in Los Angeles. In addition, curators Hans Ulrich Obrist and Ute Meta Bauer discuss sound and architecture with Akita Masami, and urbanity with artist Karl-Heinz Klopf. Annika Hansson talks to Arijana Kajfes about the role of the artist in the world of academic research, and to media curator Erkki Huhtamo, who is currently planning the big exhibition "Alien Intelligence" at KIASMA in Helsinki. Click also on our banners containing inserts - independently presented works which were created here at CRAC. Here you'll find a sample from Papa Dee's new video produced by Dan Lageryd and Christine ÷dlund. Tobias SjÂdin's pictures were taken here at CRAC's physical location, on Igeldammsgatan in Stockholm, and behind the Source banner you will find samples from the video magazine of the same name. All the previous texts, interviews, videos, image files and sound files are still here at CRAC in Context. They are still topical, interesting, entertaining, difficult to chew and easy to digest. _____________________________________________________________________ CRAC (Creative Room for Art and Computing) is a digital media workshop located in downtown Stockholm.
