Art-Place-Technology

Art-Place-Technology, Liverpool: International Symposium on Curating New Media Art, 30 March - 1 April 2006.

Art-Place-Technology will look at historical and current projects by some of the world's leading curators of new media art, and discuss how curating new media art creates interfaces with the art world, museum culture, media, publishing and academia. New media art is a global phenomenon: a rapidly changing and dynamic field of creative practice which crosses conventional categories and disciplinary boundaries, challenging our assumptions about art.

How do curators engage with new media art? What makes a good curator of new media art? What can we learn from the pioneers of this field? What does the future hold for curating new media art? What common ground exists with other disciplines? These and other issues will be explored at Art-Place-Technology.

Speakers include figures who are shaping the practice and theory of curating new media art, including:

Inke Arns, Artistic Director, Hartware MedienKunstVerein, Dortmund.
Sarah Cook, Curator and Co-editor, CRUMB, University of Sunderland
Paul Domela, Deputy Chief Executive, Liverpool Biennial
