DIGITIZED BODIES - VIRTUAL SPECTACLES<br>
25 October - 25 November 2001<br>

The Ludwig Museum Budapest - Museum of Contemporary Art, in
collaboration<br>
with C3: Center for Culture & Communication and InterAccess
Toronto,<br>
within the framework of the Budapest Autumn Festival, presents the<br>
exhibition and event series entitled Digitized Bodies - Virtual<br>
Spectacles. One of the primary objectives of the Digitized Bodies -<br>
Virtual Spectacles project is, on the one hand, the evolution of a kind
of<br>
interdisciplinary communication, and on the other hand, the
presentation<br>
of such artworks that demonstrate the transformation of our
constructed<br>
image of the human body under the influence of medical technology.
The<br>
exhibition - and the project in its entirety - seek the answer to the
same<br>
question, in attempting to examine our metamorphosising notions in<br>
accordance with the accelerating development of the various
technologies,<br>
and to present how artists, theoreticians and scientists acknowledge
and<br>
evaluate the digitalization of our culture.<br><br>
<br><br>
CANADA IN BUDAPEST (for the)<br>
2001 Budapest Autumn Festival<br><br>
DIGITIZED BODIES:- VIRTUAL SPECTACLES<br>
An International touring exhibition/ Symposium/ Performance series/<br>
CD-ROM/ Book/ and ON-LINE Symposium featuring the works of SIX
Canadian<br>
Artists<br><br>
CURATED BY NINA CZEGLEDY<br><br>
THE LUDWIG MUSEUM / MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART is Hungary's primary
site<br>
for cultural events and the dissemination of contemporary art. C3:
CENTRE<br>
FOR CULTURE AND COMMUNICATION is an International production centre
and<br>
venue for advanced digital research.<br><br>
THE DIGITIZED BODIES - VIRTUAL SPECTACLES project, investigates ways
in<br>
which rapidly evolving technologies affect our perception of our
bodies,<br>
our lives, our imagination in fact our very future. It asks
critical<br>
questions:<br><br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>-How has
contemporary techno-science refigure the already complex<br>
dichotomies of nature Vs artifice: real Vs virtual; body Vs
embodiment?<br><br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>-How do we
decipher the ambiguities that surround the documented<br>
data body?<br><br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>-How can
we continue to use the term "intimate" (perception), in<br>
an age when Barbara Stafford has written that: "the
computer-mediated<br>
milieu renders the body nakedly public?"<br><br>
The questions Czegledy poses are hugely significant in this complex
time<br>
which surrounds us. In her early writing Czegledy presciently
enquired<br>
"How do we preserve our individual integrity without becoming
[mere]<br>
electronic spectacles?"<br><br>
