e-art International Symposium
Video presentations
This International Symposium was organized by the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts in collaboration with the Daniel Langlois Foundation and took place September 26, 2007.
How can we understand art that is being reinvented in the digital age? Today, art has gone beyond the limitations of traditional practices; it is created at the cutting edge of disciplines that not only interconnect but are continually evolving. How, then, do we position ourselves as visitors? How do we grasp the meaning of these new works of art in exhibition spaces that are themselves being utterly transformed? How do the creators of this art – who are now engineers, philosophers and computer specialists as well as artists – design a way of working that can take place equally well in a laboratory or a studio? Hear some of the artists and researchers who are presently the most involved in these questions:
