MEDIA-SCAPE 5  Zagreb 19.-27. November 1997 International
Symposium and Exhibition for Art, Media and Culture


What is Media-Scape?
It was always the driving spindle and the elixir of avant-garde art to
condense intellectual trends, social developments and technical
innovations to become an up-to-date artistic interpretation of reality.
Media-Scape is pointing critically on this developments, their
pre-history and their future perspectives. The concept of present
trends, historical passages and future visions are presented
through various lectures, film and video-screenings, exhibitions and
performances.
Referring to the considerable and pioneering symposia "Dialogue with the
Machine" (Zagreb  1969) and "Television Today" (Zagreb 1972) and the
important role of Zagreb in the  Fine Arts and Design, the event marks
the necessity of a human-shaped media-landscape and present concepts,
ideas and artistic reflections in the new, emerging media art.
In May 1991, during the international CAD-Forum, symposium for
Architecture and Design, for the first time media-artists and
theoreticians came together. They discussed the role of new media and
their artistic applications and  initiated the Media-Scape event.
Because of the war situation in Croatia, it took two years to organise
the first Media-Scape. In 1993 the symposium under the title
"Integration of New Technologies" went along with video screenings and
an exhibition of holography and digital-image-collages. The event took
place in the Museum Mimara and focused on the themes in the field of
virtual reality, holography, political influence on media as well as
new streams in video art and computer animation.
In 1994 Media-Scape 2 hosted the symposium under the title "Open
Traditions". Experiences in the field of the new media in Eastern
European countries were confronted with the experiences of the
Western European Countries.  The symposium, screenings and an
exhibtion of flag-paintings and monitor-objects of the Hungarian artist
Antal Lux took place in the building of the Zagreb Multimedia
Centre. In an old printing factory video installations of
several Croatian video artists were presented.
1995 Media-Scapes venue was the beautiful building of the Croatian
Artists Association, constructed in 1936 by the sculptor Ivan Mestrovic.
The exhibition showed the mutual basis of new and old media.  The
concept of the exhibition was enlarged to creative CD-ROM and
Internet projects. In the frame of symposium with the theme
"Turbulences of Tradition", besides lectures and artist
presentations, also concerts of electronic / computer music were
organized. In addition an Internet Cafe was opened, the first of its
kind in Croatia.
1996 Media-Scape 4 followed the ideas of previous Media-Scape events,
with extension to performance art. The exhibition which took place in
the Museum of Contemporary Art showed references to the past war in
Croatia, but also future visions of art under technological
influence. The symposium and video screenings were held in the house
of the Society of Croatian Architects. The theme "Conditions and
Inventions" was oriented more on artists presentation than scientific
discourses.
Media-Scape 5 will take place again in the Museum of Contemporary Art in
Zagreb. The exhibition will focus the variety of perception through
extended technical means. Artists such as Akiko Hada, Franz John, Marko
Kosnik, Darko Fritz, Ina Abuschenko Matwejewa and others will present
their works as media objects, video installations, copy-art,
photography, electronic graphic as well as Internet and CD-ROM
projects. The symposium will be organized more as a round
table, where artists can communicate more closely with the
public.
