DIDO Day

EIKON is pleased to invite you to Digitalen Donnerstag at Electric Avenue/quartier21

A varied programme on the subject of digital art and culture awaits you. In the centre of attention will be the pulling of the “body”. Perspectives on film archives, digitalization and the public in the 21st century will be reflected. Thomas Ballhausen (Filmarchiv Austria, University of Vienna) will inform you about current trends in archiving.

By doing “speed presentations” on digital life artists, curators and scientists will give insights into their labs, exhibition previews and project appetizers. Among others EIKON editor-in-chef Elisabeth M. Gottfried will talk with the artist Norbert Math (alien productions) about what’s new in the EIKON-world and Alien City.

When: March 24, 2011 at 6 p.m.
Where: Electric Avenue, room D/quartier21/MQ, Museumsplatz 1, 1070 Vienna 

eSel will accompany the program with insights on current art and cultural events in Vienna.
