ECAS WP 4 - Stage

18th International festival for computer-based art
13.11. - 19.11. 2014 | Festspielhaus Hellerau | Dresden

CY NET ART testifies to the life of intertwined species and shows options of connectivity with specifically designed perception architectures. The modelation of coexistence reflects our understanding of ourselves. Our demand for contact among each other and to other species, so it be purely energetic or mediated, is ongoing.

In the sense of cybernetics comprehension relationships between disciplines and types are drawn, networked together, set into relation to each other. The technical interfaces form the interfaces of the transformation of bodies (ant colonies, human, organic crops, etc.) into data, thus in possible information for process control and the processing of technical procedures. Due to their informal qualities feedback loops offer connections and thus confirm the assumption that all is connected to everything, all mutually conditionally.

From 13 to 19 November, CYNETART festival invites to various atmo-spheres, in which we will meet under the roof of the Festspielhaus Hellerau in Dresden.

The "roomies" of the spaces and spheres will be international media artists, for instance the winners of this year's CYNETART competition or invited in relation to collaborations with world renowned institutions.

As a central point in the Grand Hall of the Festspielhaus there will be to experience a fulldome hemisphere: an extra built large spherical segment as a temporary zone of art. Artists play encircling 360° hemisphere filling projections and sound and thus combine the latest technological possibilities with artistic practice. The self-built "Planetarium" is an area, in which the quest will be: plunge and immerse.
