[Nettime-bold] Panel at SVA: Art and Architecture in the Space of Media

[Ostrow/Kaneda <so5@is2.nyu.edu>]

Art and Architecture in the Space of Media
Thursday,  Feburary 22, 2001 at the School of Visual Arts

Beyond Form: Art and Architecture in the Space of Media is premised on
the view that art and architecture are being absorbed into a
technological network that is literally modifying and transforming our
relation to the world through its ability to recontextualize a subject and
its representation.  As such this panel is  concerned with  how it has come
to re-organize our conception of art and architecture as practices.
Consequently, the presentations and discussion that make up this event will
form a hypertext that address how within the fields of art and architecture
this condition is being responded. Tom Zummer (Artist and  Theorist), Ed
Keller (digital artist / film+arch theorist) Ben Neill  (Composer)  Fabian
Marcaccio (Artist)  and the architectural group of Christine Calderon, Omar
Calderon and Peter Dorsey (Architects) will address how artists and
architects responding to the mediating space of technology seek to broaden
the critical parameters of their disciples, rather than merely produce a
technological aesthetic. This confluence of the conceptual grounding of art
and architecture is emerging as a significant issue as museums and
galleries increasingly come to focus on how this territory will come to be
defined.
