REthinking Media Arts in C(K)ollaborative Environments
Start date: Sep 1, 2010,

The REMAKE project is aimed at collaborative production and international presentation of new artworks, inspired by the rich history of European media art. The project is building on a research conducted in the recent years by a group of theorists, called:MONOSKOP, collaborative research on media art and culture in Europe. The research project examines the social context of historical developments in media art (with special focus on Central and Eastern Europe). Analysis of socio-poetic conditions of art and technology crossings from 1960s to 2000s draws upon the undertakings in experimental and avantgarde film, performance art, computer art, video art, experimental music, sound art, and media theory. The objective is to create professional and solid basis for theoreticians and critics to assist them in development of the theoretical discourse on new media art in the (but not exclusively) Central and Eastern Europe. The aim of the REMAKE project is to enhance this on-going research in an appealing, playful and artistically-challenging way: by producing and presenting a set of up-to-date artworks which will be inspired by particular well-known (but also forgotten) pieces of media art history in different European countries. The public outputs will be supervised and the artistic selection conducted by outstanding as well as young media art curators from several countries (SK, CZ, BE, DE). An important part of the project is circulation of ideas and connection to universities, research and education. REMAKE will focus on creating artworks, collaborative shows and academic events in selected centers for contemporary art of Europe. The project contains of workshops, artistic residencies, public shows (exhibitions in Brno, Reykjavik and Cluj, multimedia performances in Bratislava, Banska Bystrica, Prague, Nantes, Cluj and others) , lectures and discussions, supporting circulation of lecturers/artists, as well as "collaborative lectures" combining theory and practice.
