Art as Mediation in the Age of Global Communication
Symposium Artist Presentation
Thursday, August 10, 4 - 6 pm
Mediation in the current art discourse is the process in which the different disciplines are employed in questioning, challenging and experimenting with new models and forms that propose social and political change. One of the most effective means of mediation in contemporary new media art has been through analogies and metaphors in which narration, analogies and metaphors are not any more representative – artists now use these techniques proactively as mechanisms of mediation and intervention. This presentation describes artistic strategies and methodologies developed over the past five years in conjunction with the US Department of Art & Technology, a virtual government agency created as a critique of the role of the artist in society and politics.
