A Month
of
Media
Art




With the Peer to Peer – A Month of Media Art in NRW event series in September 2023, the Office medienwerk.nrw and cooperation partners invite to a journey through the diverse and charismatic media art landscape of North Rhine-Westphalia. In workshops, performances, presentations, talks and urban walks, we look at current debates in the field of tension between art and technology on five consecutive weekends in Düsseldorf, Cologne, Havixbeck (near Münster) and Essen and position these jointly in a broader socio-political context. The starting point is provided by the sponsored projects from the programmes Medienkunstfonds and Medienkunstfellows of the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia.

Venues: FFT Düsseldorf; Academy of Media Arts Cologne; Rautenstrauch-Joest-Museum, Cologne; Burg Hülshoff – Center for Literature (CfL), Havixbeck near Münster; PACT Zollverein, Essen.

#Natur #Infrastruktur #Ökologie #Anthropozän


The start of the series Peer to Peer – A Month of Media Art in NRW is a weekend at the FFT (Forum Freies Theater) Düsseldorf. The programme is also the season opening of the institution. Several currently urgent questions surrounding ecosystems, the Anthropocene and infrastructures will be addressed from the perspectives of media art in the programme on both days. Discussions revolving around several of the sponsored projects, a video installation, an urban walk, lectures and the Resurrect in Peace (R.I.P.) performance by Anan Fries can be experienced. Fantasies and promises of mastery over and control of nature with the help of technology converge in the artistic search for new narratives beyond the logic of mastery and exploitation. The findings of these search movements are translated through various artistic practices into performance, moving images and digital media and made accessible.

#Archive #Agency #Memory #Blank Spaces

The second weekend focuses on the artistic exploration of cultural archives, their voids and their partly conflict-ridden history, which is to be made visible and pluralized through forms of alternative knowledge production as well as with the possibilities of digital media and strategies of performance art. As a double host, the Rautenstrauch-Joest-Museum and the Academy of Media Arts Cologne (KHM) refer to the joint exploration of the museum's collection in a postcolonial context and new possibilities of its digital research. Workshops, a depot access tour, talks, a listening session, and lectures will highlight many more practices in dealing with institutionalized and informal archives.

#Interfaces #Interaktionen #Überschreibungen


On the third weekend of the Peer to Peer – A Month of Media Art series at the Burg Hülshoff – Center for Literature, the focus is on projects that deal with new narrative styles mediated through technology and enable extraordinary experiences and encounters for visitors. The bandwidth of contemporary technologies used is varied. Methods like sensor technology, augmented reality, sampling or motion capturing can be experienced in workshops, installations and walks.

The programme, composed of several of the sponsored projects, is complemented by performances and readings in which the societal and individual impacts of technology play a vital role today and in possible futures.

#Body #Politics #Artificial Intelligence #Bias

#Body #Politics #Bias

The fourth weekend focuses on the project I Am Your Body by the artist Marco Donnarumma, who, during his fellowship, explored the alternative perception of sounds through artificial intelligence together with a working group of D/deaf and hard of hearing individuals. The premiere of a performance resulting from the creative process and an exhibition featuring a new video work by Donnarumma will be presented. Additionally, there will be discussions and presentations addressing various aspects related to Ability, Technology, and Bias.

#Artificial Intelligence

Concluding the event, we, along with our partner, shed light on the current discussions surrounding the field of artificial intelligence. A dual presentation will delve into some sociopolitical questions associated with the topic. The focus will primarily be on the possibilities (and risks) that arise for art and culture. An extensive workshop, designed by the scientist Maren Butte and the choreographer Ben J. Riepe, will explore the intersection of technology and dreams. On two evenings, the elaborate theatrical work ANIMA™ by Alexander Schubert, created with the help of artificial intelligence, will be showcased.
