   THE AIM OF THE SYMPOSIUM
   The aim of the international symposium (New)Media Art in Museums is to
   consider status of (new)media art in museum collections, conditions of
   keeping, protection, modes of exhibiting and all the changes that
   (new) media art  introduces into the everyday practice of contemporary
   museums.

   Special attention will be paid to the specifics regarding production
   and rights that evolve from interrelations between museum - author -
   agency - certified producer. By employing the main subject: What are
   new media? - the symposium will thematically process temporal
   definition, production, keeping and presenting of (new)media art, as
   well as artistic features and influences that new media and digital
   technologies exert on contemporary museum presentation practice.

   SPHERES AND MAIN SUBJECTS

     new media and cultural heritage

     production / artwork

     the diversity of museum material and the status of (new)media
     artworks in museum collections

     the conditions of keeping and the modes of exhibiting

     the museum in a role of producer, risks, rights and duties,
     experiences and prognoses

     the influence of technological development on museum institutions,
     interaction between (new)media - institution - artists

     global information system and museums


   Detail information on symposium:
   By organizing the symposium (New)Media Art in Museums we wish to
   stimulate colleagues from the museum profession and artists towards
   reflection, writing and discussion on interesting and actual subject
   of new and digital media, the various means in which the latter are
   implemented into museum activities and art creation, as well as their
   influence in forming the views on contemporary world.

   The symposium's subject is defined, yet opened towards problematizing
   the experiences and insights from both theory and practice.

   We take special interest in the present state of artworks from the
   countries  of the symposium's participants, as well as in
   institutional interest and actual artists. We hope for the high number
   of participants  as it will enable us to develop discussion, provide
   practical examples and create conditions for quality comparison. We
   wish to reach conclusions on situation both within the region and
   globally.

   We take special interest in discussing the following subjects:
   -          relation between media and museums
   -          the percentage of representation of (new)media works in the
   specialized museums of visual art
   -          institutions' relation  to (new)media museum items
   -          author's rights (author and collaborators...)
   -          relation between original and copy (the number of copies,
   ethics)
   -          conservatorial procedures that are applied when a
   (new)media artwork is endangered due to a process in which it happens
   to be (keeping, outdated technology)

    museum professionals, artists and other interested experts from
