Open Call

Medea Electronique
ElectroMediaWorks 08

OPEN CALL FOR PROJECTS & PROPOSALS

Medea Electronique - ElectroMediaWorks ’08 international presentation of Mixed Media Electronic Arts, will be held in Athens from May 14 to - May 18.
ElectroMediaWorks ’08 is open to anyone interested in the theory, technology, philosophy and practices of mixed media arts, in today’s state-of-the-art cultural landscape.
Medea Electronique, EPHMEE (Electroacoustic Music Research and Applications Lab, Music Dept. Ionian University) and CMCP (Center for Music Composition and Performance) co organize an intense five day and night program listing international shows and productions, for innovative media art, electronic music and cross-over art with artists such as musicians, video artists, performers, involving different arts and lifestyles.
The use and utilization of some of the 20th century’s technological breakthroughs by a number of creative people have played a decisive role in moving Art to an all-new terrain, in terms of both scope and form. Fine Arts started being examined from the viewpoint of a new reality, a reality defined by the newly acquired ability to capture image and sound by means of the New Media. This was only the beginning. If the term «New Media Arts» is hastily starting to express what contemporary art has been about the last couple of decades, then «Mixed Media Arts» explains the current holistic tendency to mix as a means to the end of completion. The wide availability of the new technologies and its maybe slow but deep penetration in modern life, have provided the artists with new creative tools, more powerful than ever, helping decisively towards a spectacular –if not dramatic – reinvention of art.

Medea Electronique - ElectroMediaWorks ’08 will be hosted at a 900-square meters industrial space down town Athens. A complete 16-channel diffusion system will be in place for the electroacoustic works and the live electronics and a 5.1 surround system for the video art installations.
