  1. The Fiction and Non-Fiction of Virtual Reality

    The site of this year’s ACLA conference is also home to the Center for Computation and Visualization that enables vibrant research and pedagogy within so-called virtual reality environments, the best-know instance of which is known by the recursive acronym “CAVE” (Cave Automatic Virtual Environment).  In the Brown University Center students may take a ‘Cave Writing’ course and explore what it means to compose poetry or fiction with language in 3D, art students can use Cave Painting to produce pictures that float in space, and Geologists travel to Mars or Antarctica for fieldwork.

  2. The Extensions of Many

    A series of seminars exploring the ambiguity of the notion of media from an aesthetic and technological perspective.

    The themes range from sonic art and theory of rhythm, through the emergence of narratives about multimedia systems in the amalgam of library science and peace activism, to a relation between early video art and ecological crisis. The speakers included Ina Blom, Florian Cramer, Knut Ove Eliassen, Olga Goriunova, Aud Sissel Hoel, Eleni Ikoniadou, and Femke Snelting. The series was programmed by Dušan Barok in collaboration with Bergen Center for Electronic Arts, and held at Hordaland kunstsenter, Bergen, throughout March 2015.
