ETP phase 1 :: discussion about networked artistic practices

At April 21, 2009 @ DOX – Centre for Contemporary Art Prague, a discussion about networked artistic practices took place.

Participants:
Thomas Dumke (DE), Georg Hajdu (DE), Johan Melin (SE), Klaus Nicolai(DE), Marlon Barrios Solano (VE/USA), Andrea Szigetvári (HU), Frieder Weiß (DE)

This discussion was an introduction of the state-of-the-art of experimental practices in the field of networked and/or distributed creativity. Concepts and people behind two leading European initiatives called ETP (European Tele-Plateaus) and CO-ME-DI-A (Cooperation and Mediation in Digital Art), were on the main focus. How do artists think about networks and how do they make use of high-speed Internet in order to collaboratively create one single installation or performance with its co-creators being in different locations?
