Description:

ENTER4

ENTER is an international biannual showcase of creative practices positioned at the intersection of art, science and technology. In 2009, the fourth edition of the festival brought together artists and researchers to present and discuss current developments in what we sometimes call new media art, while addressing a theme of adaptation. The projects of Czech and international artists share the following set of tags, among others: nano, micro, macro, living, non-living, luminescence, ionosphere, space, data, exploration, spectrum, magnetic, perception, primitive, ritual, brain, code, motion, robot.

Objective:

• To showcase experimental artistic practices with a focus on network-oriented scenarios.

• To provide an interdisciplinary context for such practices while running in parallel with Science beyond Fiction: The European Future Technologies Conference (FET09) http://ec.europa.eu/fet09 and discussing today’s frontier science, tomorrow’s technologies and the impact of both on tomorrow’s society.
