The
International Conference «Access to Excess»
Organizer:
MediaArtLab
Location: Conference Hall of the Filmmakers’ Union of RF
Vasilievskaya St., 13
The core problem of the conference: how to
organize effectively the process of cultural and historical valorization (term
by B.Groys, i.e. estimating quality of product and making reasonable its
value) of media art content under the present conditions of information
over-production. Among participants of the conference organized in collaboration
with the All-Russian State Library of Foreign Literature are supposed to be
representatives of media art centers and archives, festivals, project runners
and researchers from Eastern and Western Europe, America, Asia and Russia.
The conference will highlight several basic
problems of media art collections development:
Effective models of distribution
and promotion of media art
Curators of media art collections, organizers of
media art festivals, presentational and educational programs, initiators of
online resources on media art on the Internet from different countries will
present their projects, share experience, and discuss different problems related
to searching for adequate and effective ways of presentation of new forms of
digital arts and the use of new technologies in the process of distribution and
promotion.
Methods and policy in the field of preservation of media
art works
The actuality of the problem of preservation of
media art works has grown during the last years. It’s derived from the fact
that media art works, especially produced in analogue formats, start to lose
their quality quite soon since the time of their production. The basic aspects
of the problem are: appropriated formats of the storage of media art works,
preservation and restoration of media art works, transference to other,
different from an original one, formats, conservation of network and Internet
based art projects.
Intellectual
property and copyright in the era of digital economy
How artists, curators, and other professionals,
from one side, and audience, from the other, can benefit in "the era of
digital reproduction" from the use of advanced, first of all, Internet
technologies?
Online databases: architecture,
content development, platforms for integration
Experience and perspectives of development of
online archives and museums of media art, as well as other related information
resources. Database as a network project.
