In­side Out and the Ma­te­ri­al­ity of the Dig­i­tal

Symposium:

• ISEA2011: 17th International Symposium on Electronic Art

• Variable Reality – Inter-formalities in Digital/Analogue Arts

• In­side Out and the Ma­te­ri­al­ity of the Dig­i­tal

• Martin William Rieser

Venue(s):

• Sabanci Center, Istanbul, Turkey

• Panel: Variable Reality – Inter-formalities in Digital/Analogue Arts

  Rieser will de­scribe the In­side Out sculp­tural ex­change ex­hi­bi­tion cur­rently tour­ing the UK, which has been shown in Syd­ney, Aus­tralia and 4 UK venues. The pro­ject, which ex­changed dig­i­tal files across con­ti­nents and then gen­er­ated the ob­jects using rapid pro­to­type print­ing meth­ods, was the first major in­ter­na­tional at­tempt to ob­vi­ate the phys­i­cal re­al­iza­tion of the sculp­tures by the artists them­selves. The talk will ex­plore no­tions of ma­te­ri­al­ity in re­la­tion to the dig­i­tal and how rad­i­cally artis­tic prac­tice is chang­ing around the idea of hy­brid or over­lap­ping re­al­i­ties as being in­ter­re­lated and of equal cul­tural sig­nif­i­cance.
