May 25 – June 15, 2021
with 4 live online sessions on May 25, June 01, 08 & 15, 2021, each day from 4 – 6 pm
Many thanks to the writer, critic & artist Habib William Kherbek for his online seminar TELEMATIC ART AND PERFORMANCE: THE FUTURE IN HISTORY and discussing the contributions of our participants within the Online Program at BAI | Berlin Artist Residency, Art School, Arts Incubator, and Live Online Courses & Classes.
“A series of workshops, readings, and discussions (perhaps even a performance) considering the legacy, evolution, and diversity of telematic art.
Workshops/seminars will consider the technological aspects of telematic art, the temporal aspect, the historical positioning of the form, and emerging methodologies and practices. The history of telematic art is deeply enmeshed with the contemporary history of technology and its intersection with politics. Thus, the course will also explore the ways in which technology, policy-making and art have intersected over the decades during which telematic art matured as a form. Discussions will also consider how emerging cultural forms like LARP (live action role play) and MMPORG (massive multiplayer online roleplaying games) have borrowed from and inform contemporary telematic art. The advent of ubiquitous online meeting platforms will also be considered as a medium for and subject matter of telematic art.
Participants will be asked to develop a proposal for a telematic art project over the course of the sessions for submission on the last meeting of class at which a panel of contemporary artists will consider the submissions and potentially offer opportunities for realising selected projects.” (Text by courtesy of Habib William Kherbek)
