new media line

The title of the online exhibition refers as much to the capability of new media forming a line – a connection – between different means of production, forms of expression, ends of communication and their interactive features as to the meaning of the line itself – as a graphic element, a line, a row, a repetition, a series, an underlining, an enclosing or an opening element of form …

Leading new media artists contributed to the online exhibition organized by kanonmedia and curated by Alexandra Reill. The quality of the pieces submitted as well as the different approaches to production and content made the featuring of three works nearly impossible.

Therefore kanonmedia would like to emphasize that the chosen chronology of presentation was not meant to be a ranking. The majority of submissions show prior quality / are internationally recognized pieces / could have been
listed as no 01.

The way of presentation decided for was based on the following aspects of programming:

– Is there a relation of the piece to the theme of <<< new media line >>> & what relation would this be?
– Does the interpretation of ‘line’ as an interactive or other new media connection / relation / communication serve the content transported or does interactivity apply for its own sake ?
– How contemporary / time-relevant / innovative is the content transmitted?
– What kind of technical complexity does the piece implicate ?
– How elaborate is the project ?
– How refined is the visual / aesthetic quality of the piece?
– How profiled is the project as a whole, considering all aspects described

Our thxs go to
kanonmedia would like to thank all participating artists for their contributions / together forming – as we think – a highly interesting spectrum of innovative / time-relevant new media work.
