Brief Intro
(The DEAF catalog's theoretical Introduction is also available - er is ook een Nederlands versie).DEAF95 (Dutch Electronic Art Festival) is an annual festival for the arts and their relation to technology. The festival investigates art in the light of current developments in the area of science and technology. This year's festival will be presented under the main theme of: Interfacing Realities.
Interface literally means 'cutting edge'. In man-machine relations it refers to the hard- and software that is used to facilitate and optimize the coupling of man and machine.
During DEAF95 the interface in machine and computer art will take center stage. The development of the interface will be approached from different disciplines, including art, robotics, medical industry and virtual reality.
The festival program will include an international exposition of electronic art projects and installations at the V2_Building and at Lantaren/Venster theater. In the Digital Dive café visitors will be able to browse the World Wide Web and view recent CD-ROM productions on computer terminals arranged in specially designed booths. A Forum (23.11.) will initiate a critical debate about the future development of CD-ROM as an artistic medium.
The Music and Interfaces (22.11.) program will offer lectures, concerts and special demonstrations. The Crossings project (25.-26.11.) deals with the representation of computer spaces by computer-animated virtual environment and will be presented in the Rotterdam Harbor Simulator. In the Symposium (24.-25.11.) an international group of researchers and artists will discuss social, cultural, philosophical and technological questions related to human-machine interfaces, and will give demonstrations of the latest developments in this field. The World Wide Web is the theme of the Wiretap 1.11 program (26.11.) which will be presented as part of DEAF95. An Adventures Night (25.11.) at the music venue Nighttown will see a six hour program during which different (art) disciplines are brought together in one event. Two Seminars will be held prior to DEAF95 (6.+13.11.) as introductions for the general audience to the technological, artistic and theoretical themes of the festival.
There is a DEAF95 Press Release available which quickly describes the various events and the festival Program, plus an Introduction to the festival by the Alex Adriaansens, Director of V2_Organisatie.
