CYNETART festival 2013 – »The body does not lie!«
17th International festival for computer-based art14.11. - 20.11. 2013 | Festspielhaus Hellerau | Dresden
About 70 representatives of the media arts will come to the Festspielhaus Hellerau in November and create – together with the protagonists of the Trans-Media-Akademie Hellerau – a »Laboratory of Humanity« as festival founder Klaus Nicolai calls it, in which dimensions of post, trans and meta humanity in its artistic, technical and scientific form can be experienced. Nestled in the unique European network projects METABODY and ECAS the Festival is clearly helping to cross-border collaborative come together and to care for a 21st century pendant to Hellerau's once showed intellectual leadership.
How can we find new paths to our deep sensory sensations or to create specific media environments that bring our present body in contact with other bodies using current technologies? The participating artists create media environments, that require physical and mentally conscious movements: interactive performances with the use of computer-based systems that can be seen as independent new genres which approached with the development of digital interactive established technologies and were institutionalized through organizations like the TMA Hellerau. Be it augmented reality performance installations or performance art with biophysical media, DIY workshops for BioHacking, Sense stages and costumes for the connection of physical and sonic expression – the projects of this year's festival play in many ways with emotional, visual and acoustic perception and its shift.
