Paper abstract
for the Media Forum conference.
"Experiment
and millions "
1. New technologies of
communication (NTC) and the return to individualized creativity. From cinema
avant-garde to video art and net art to virtual reality. Anti-mass character of
Modernism - mass culture and postmodern culture of individual universes (utopia
or reality?).
2. Conflicts between electronic
mass media based upon expansion of a growing mass audience and art exploration
of NTC, which gives boundless possibilities of self-expression, creation of
individual universes and search for individual partners, viewers, interlocutors
(in the broad sense).
3. One person against millions (of
viewers and/or of dollars). Traditional screen art (cinema or TV) requires
multimillion expenditures and billions of viewers. Anything not “mass” is
driven to the margins, or even completely out of the picture.
3. The trajectory of approach:
3.1. A project conception of a
TV series - the historical trajectory of screen avant-garde and its contemporary
heirs.
3.2 Specialized TV channel
as the only version of attraction of the opposites.
3.3 A form consistent with
the content (of each broadcast): Mecas, "Homo Paradoxum", computer
and creativity.
3.4 “To what point of too
far it is possible to go” (Jean Cocteau): provocation, sexuality,
lifestyle of art Bohemia, democratization of the Modernist impulse and
Culture.
3.5 From compilation to
presentation of works: back to the concept’s sources.
4. Public response - the press,
the rumors, distribution, prospective awards…
5. Prospects.
