for our culture, this Conference on the Histories of Media Art will discuss for
the first time the history of media art within the interdisciplinary and
intercultural contexts of the histories of art. Banff New Media Institute, the
Database for Virtual Art and Leonardo/ISAST are collaborating to produce
the first international art history conference covering art and new media, art
and technology, art-science interaction, and the history of media as pertinent

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>29. September 05 <BR><BR>GMT 15:30 h / CANADA
8:30 am <BR>keynote Edmond Couchot: Towards the Autonomous Image <BR><BR>16:30h
/ 9:30 am - opening plenary - MediaArtHistories: Times & Landscapes 1
<BR>(Chairs: Oliver Grau and Gunalan Nadarajan ) <BR>After photography, film,
video, and the little known media art history of the 1960s-80s, today media
artists are active in a wide range of digital <BR>areas (including interactive,
genetic, telematic and nanoart). Media Art History offers a basis for attempting
an evolutionary history of the <BR>audiovisual media, from the Laterna Magica to
the Panorama, Phantasmagoria, Film, and the Virtual Art of recent decades. This
panel tries to clarify, if and how varieties of Media Art have been splitting up
during the last decades. It examines also how far back Media Art reaches as a
historical category within the history of Art, Science and Technology. This
session will offer a first overview about the visible influence of media art on
all fields of art. <BR>Speakers: Gunalan Nadarajan, Luise Poissant,
Oliver Grau, Mario Carpo <BR><BR>17:30h / 11:30 am - plenary Methodologies
<BR>(Chair: Mark Hansen and Erkki Huhtamo) <BR>Critical overview of which
methods art history has been using during the past to approach media art.
<BR>Speakers: Mark Hansen, Erkki Huhtamo, Irina Aristarkhova, Andreas Broeckmann
<BR><BR>21:10h / 2:10 pm - plenary - Image Science and Representation: From
a Cognitive Point of View <BR>(Chair: Barbara Stafford) <BR>Although much recent
scholarship in the Humanities and Social Sciences has been "body-minded" this
research has yet to grapple with a major problem familiar to contemporary
cognitive scientists and neuro scientists. How do we reconcile a top-down,
functional view of cognition with a view of human beings as elements of a
culturally shaped biological world? Historical as well as elusive electronic
media from the vantage of an embodied and distributed brain. <BR>Speakers:
Barbara Stafford, Kristin Veel, Christine Ross, Phillip Thurtle &
<BR>Claudia X. Valdes, Christopher Salter, Tim Clark <BR><BR>12:25 h / 4:25 pm -
concurrent session 1 - Art as Research / Artists as Inventors <BR>(Chair: Dieter
Daniels) <BR>Do "innovations" and "inventions" in the field of art differ from
those in the field of technology and science? Have artists contributed anything
"new" to those fields of research? <BR>Speakers: Dieter Daniels, Chris
Meigh-Andrews, Fred Turner, Simon Penny, <BR>Cornelius Borck <BR><BR>concurrent
session 2 - MediaArtHistories: Times and Landscapes 2 </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>(Chairs: Edward Shanken and Charlie Gere) <BR>Although
there has been important scholarship on intersections between art and
technology, there is no comprehensive technological history of art (as there are
feminist and Marxist histories of art, for example.) Canonical histories of art
fail to sufficiently address the inter-relatedness of developments in science,
technology, and art. <BR>Speakers: Edward Shanken, Charlie Gere, Grant Taylor,
Darko Fritz & Margit <BR>Rosen, Sylvie Lacerte, Anne Collins Goodyear,
Caroline Langill, Maria <BR>Fernandez <BR><BR><STRONG>30. September 05</STRONG>
<BR><BR>GMT 15:45 h / 8:45 am - plenary Collecting, Preserving and Archiving the
Media Arts <BR>(Chair: Jean Gagnon) <BR>Collections grow because of different
influences such as art dealers, the art market, curators and currents in the
international contemporary art scene. What are the conditions necessary for a
wider consideration of media art works and of new media in these collections?
<BR>Speakers: Jean Gagnon, Christiane Paul, Peter Weibel, Jon Ippolito
<BR><BR>18:00 h / 11:00 am - concurrent session 1 - Database/New Scientific
Tools <BR>(Chairs: Rudolf Frieling and Oliver Grau) <BR>Accessing and browsing
the immense amount of data produced by individuals, institutions, and archives
has become a key question to our information society. In which way can new
scientific tools of structuring and visualizing data provide new contexts and
enhance our understanding of semantics? <BR>Speakers: Oliver Grau, Rudolf
Frieling, Sandra Fauconnier, Christian Berndt, <BR>Alain Depocas, Anne-Marie
Duguet <BR><BR>concurrent session 2 - Pop/Mass/Society <BR>(Chairs: Machiko
Kusahara and Andreas Lange) <BR>The dividing lines between art products and
consumer products have been disappearing more and more since the Pop Art of the
1960s. The distinction between artist and recipient has also become blurred.
Most recently, the digitalization of our society has sped up this process
enormously. In principle, more and more artworks are no longer bound to a
specific place and can be further developed relatively freely. The panel
examines concrete forms, e.g. computer games, determining the cultural context
and what consequences they could have for the understanding of art in the 21st
century. <BR>Speakers: Machiko Kusahara, Andreas Lange, Karen Keifer-Boyd, Tobey
<BR>Crockett, Mark Tribe <BR><BR>3:00 h / 8:00 pm <BR>Rudolf Arnheim Lecture:
<BR>Sarat Maharaj: Xeno-Epistemics: Global Migrations and other Ways? of Knowing
<BR><BR><STRONG>1. October 05</STRONG> <BR><BR>GMT 15:30 pm / Canada
8:30 am - plenary - Cross-Culture - Global Art <BR>(Chair: Sara Diamond)
<BR>This panel provides an opportunity to put a special focus on cross-cultural
influences, the global and the local. For example, how what are the impacts of
narrative structures from Aboriginal and other oral cultures on the analysis and
practice of new media? How do notions of identity shift across cultures
historically, how are these embedded and transformed by new media practice? How
does globalization and the construction of global contexts such as festivals and
biennials effect local new media practices? <BR>Speakers: Sara Diamond, Sheila
Petty, Mary Leigh Morbey, Thomas <BR>Riccio, Aparna Sharma, Laura Marks
<BR><BR>17:45 h / 10:45 am - concurrent session 1 <BR>Cross Diciplinary Research
Methods <BR>(Chairs: Ron Burnett and Frieder Nake) </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>The pressure to become interdisciplinary is very intense ?
coming from a variety of disciplines and institutions. Ironically, this
pressure has been around for a very long time. So, why don?t we just strive
for excellence irrespective of discipline? Don't the artistic practices within
the field of New Media push us in that direction anyway?<BR>Speakers: Frieder
Nake, Ron Burnett, Dot Tuer, Guy Sui Durand, Michael <BR>Century, David Tomas,
Will Straw <BR><BR>concurrent session 2 - Rejuvenate: Film, Sound and
Music in Media Arts History <BR>(Chairs: Douglas Kahn and Sean Cubitt)
<BR>During an earlier period of new media arts discourse, time-based media were
often considered to be ?old media.? While this conceit has been tempered, we
still need to consider the sophistication and provocation of film, sound and
music from the perspective of media arts history. <BR>Speakers: Douglas Kahn,
Sean Cubitt, Keith Sanborn, Scott Bukatman <BR><BR>20:45 h / 1:45 pm
<BR>keynote Lucia Santaella: The Semiosis of Media Art, Science and Technology
<BR><BR>21:45 h / 2:45 pm - concurerent session 1 - Collaborative
Practice/ Networking (History) <BR>(Chairs: Ryszard Kluszczynski and Diana
Domingues) <BR>In a network people are working together, they share resources
and knowledge with each other - and they compete with each other. This process
has sped up enormously within a few decades and has reached a new
quality/dimension. The dataflow created new economies and new forms of human
communication. <BR>Speakers: Ryszard Kluszczynski, Diana Domingues, Nina
Czegledy, Todd Davis, <BR>Douglas Jarvis, Jeremy Turner, Margaret Dolinsky
<BR><BR>concurrent session 2 - What Can the History of New Media Learn from
History of Science/Science Studies? <BR>(Chair: Linda Henderson) <BR>Science and
technology have been an important part of the cultural field in the 20th
century, and the history of science and science studies - along with the field
of literature and science - offer important lessons for art historians writing
the history of new media art. <BR>Speakers: Timothy Lenoir, Linda Henderson,
Timothy Druckrey, <BR>Simon Werrett, Yann Chateigné <BR><BR>12:00 am / 5:00 pm -
concurrent session 1 - High Art/Low Culture - the Future of Media Art Sciences?
<BR>(Chair: Karin Bruns) <BR>The panel aims to bring together the methodological
fields of media studies and media art history. Rather than limiting their focus
to canonical works of art new studies in media art production blend methods and
issues from art history and media sciences as well as from communication
studies, sociology, techno sciences, art history, cultural and postcolonial
studies. <BR>Speakers: Karin Bruns, Yara Guasque, Andy Polaine, Claus Pias,
Barbara Paul <BR><BR>concurrent session 2 - History of Institutions <BR>(Chairs:
Itsuo Sakane and Jasia Reichardt) </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There are inevitable parallels between the
development of what we now call media art and life at large. Excess of
information leads to insecurity ? what to believe, what to select, what to keep
and what to discard. Sustainability, conservation, education and access are
topics relevant to today's media art, and as relevant to it as to our natural
resources. Now that media art has a history, how do we keep track of it and
preserve it? </FONT></DIV>
