ONLINE NEW MEDIA WORKS CURATED BY CAITLIN FISHER
The new media works brought together for this festival
represent a wide range of practices and ways of thinking
about urban landscapes. Some projects here use out-of-the
box software solutions to build projects – interactive
online experiences, visual essays, small linear filmic
pieces with multiple points of entry and flash projects
with a super8 feel. Other projects answer the call to
talk about space by offering spatial hypermedia projects
– a city to wander through, evidence to examine
– environments that challenge traditional viewing/reading
practices and perform space at the level of code. Still
others take up space at a thematic level – the
space of on-line commerce, the difference cell phone
technology makes to space and community, an invitation
to explore the relationship between interface and database
through interaction with a huge catalogue of images
gathered by webcam while biking through city streets.
We hope you’re inspired by the ways in which these
artists have used new technologies to represent, think
through and create
new spaces.
