+ DETAILS / WHAT IS:

+ REMAKE
We are looking for artistically challenging 
projects and artworks INSPIRED BY PIONEERING 
experimental pieces of (new) media art history in 
different European countries. Use of digital 
technologies is not a crucial requirement. 
Submitted works do not have to be explicit and 
literal REMAKEs of older pieces, but should 
present an innovative, up-to-date approach to the 
particular historical artistic concepts / works.

+ NEW MEDIA ART
“New media art is a genre that encompasses 
artworks created with new media technologies, 
including digital art, computer graphics, 
computer animation, virtual art, Internet art, 
interactive art technologies, computer robotics, 
and art as biotechnology." (Wikipedia)

+ REMAKE PROJECT
The REMAKE - REthinking Media Artworks in 
C(K)ollaborative Environments project is building 
upon MONOSKOP, a collaborative research on media 
art and culture in Europe, conducted in the 
recent years. Monoskop examines the social 
context of historical developments in media arts 
in Europe (with special focus on Central and 
Eastern Europe). Its analysis of sociopoetic 
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 project 
(2010-2012) is supported by the Culture program 
of the European Union.

MULTIPLACE
Multiplace is a decentralized network of people 
and organisations interested in interaction 
between media, technologies, art, culture and 
society. Network activities culminate every year 
into the festival, that is happening parallely at 
several locations in the world. Its program is 
open to workshops, installations, discussions, 
concerts, performances, exhibitions, 
presentations, screenings and especially new 
forms of creativity. Original focus on the new 
media culture has been evolving since 2002 and 
besides the technological aspect of digital media 
in art, the focus shifted also to questions 
related to its aesthetical, social, cultural, 
legal and political issues.
