Media in Transition
International Conference
April 27-29, 2007
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Creativity, ownership and collaboration in the digital age
Our understanding of the technical and social processes by which culture is made and reproduced is being challenged and enlarged by digital technologies. An emerging generation of media producers is sampling and remixing existing materials as core ingredients in their own work. Readers are actively reshaping media content as they personalize it for their own use or customize it for the needs of grassroots and online communities. Of course, the idea that artists build on earlier traditions or that new texts speak to and about earlier texts is scarcely a new idea. This fifth Media in Transition conference aims to generate a conversation that compares historical forms of cultural expression with contemporary media practices.
Friday April 27th, 2:15-3:45
From Hyperfiction to Extrafiction, Alok Nandi
“Extrafiction” is a conceptual framework encapsuling research, design and development coined by this author. In a networked environment where architecture meets storytelling with or without technologies, what narratives and imaginary spaces are articulated? How functions are extrapolated, remediated into fiction? What are the emerging patterns in praxis? This presentation will discuss the contributions and conversations emerging and connected to two exhibitions, D-Design (Centre Pompidou, Paris summer 2005) and Africamuseum (Belgium, in progress). These exhibitions contained set-ups allowing their audiences to propose stories. Overall, this approach could be called “Exhibition 2.0,” allowing visitors to comment, tag and annotate.
Architempo is partner of the exhibition LLN : 1968-73 examining urban genesis of Louvain la Neuve, a “city” born in rural land; Alok Nandi is part of the exhibition design team of this double exhibition taking place both in Brussels Archi La Cambre (Place Flagey) and in Louvain la Neuve, 25 km south of Brussels.
