Mediatopia.net.2003

Adhocarts.org invites you to the launch of Mediatopia.net

URL: http://mediatopia.net

Mediatopia.net is a repository of recent net.art and writing, which
questions and explores the trajectory of network technologies.
Mediatopia.net poses a series of questions- What do we project onto
this technological dream? Awakening in this fantasy, do we come to an
experience charged with power, politics and technological decay,
churning in a dystopian meltdown? Other topics explored include
identity and networks, government intelligence gathering, new media
poetics and practice, digital love, nonlinearity and user influence,
tensions between old/new media, information and interfaces and
corporate marketing strategies.

Mediatopia, overarching like a giant sci-fi plastic bubble, signifies
our desire to draw together all these disparate experiences and ideas
under the cozy warmth of the mother ship. Creatives, technicians and
critical theorists are fascinated by these digital means. The
ideologies in this process creep into the canon of practice and are
used to define and construct an electronic world and a flesh filled
one. Join us in this process.

Curated by Lara Bank and Andrew Bucksbarg
