Nu har bygget påbörjats! Någon gång efter sommaren ska allt vara färdigt. Vi återkommer!

Surface-spelet Zap the Bugs vann i klassen Best Innovation vid Swedish Game Awards 2011. Spelet har ju tidigare gjort succé vid Gamex och Dreamhack och nu uppmärksammas det också av SGA-juryn. Vi gratulerar utvecklingsteamet: Patrick Berglind (Futuregames), Victor Rathsmann (Futuregames), Tobias Rahm (KTH), Tommy Novén (KTH) och Erika Ekeberg (KTH).

Professor Yvonne Spielmann, Chair of New Media, University of the West of Scotland, lectures on ”Hybridity in Media Arts”

on May 20, 10-12h, in room H1, Teknikringen 33, KTH

Abstract:
I will discuss those impure and heterogenous forms of interplay in the digital that are considered hybrid because they no longer refer to distinct media but to already mediated elements that can be seamlessly combined in simulation. I will also refer to approachs in media studies and in cultural studies where they agree that artists are the promotors of radical and critical hybridity as much as they reflect culural-aesthetic multiplicity and difference. With the focus on examples of Japanese media arts that are also circulating within Europe, I will then discuss in exemplary ways approaches toward aesthetics that reflect Eastern and Western cultural traditions, the modern and the tradition and the creative use of new technologies.

Professor Yvonne Spielmann (Ph.D. habil.) is Chair of New Media at The University of the West of Scotland, previously Professor of Visual Media at Braunschweig School of Art. She is author of the German language monographs ”Eine Pfütze in bezug aufs Mehr. Avantgarde” (1991), ”Intermedialität. Das System Peter Greenaway” (1998), and ”Video. Das reflexive Medium” (2005). The Engish edition ”Video. The Reflexive Medium” (published with MIT Press, 2008) was awarded the “Lewis Mumford Award for Outstanding Scholarship in the Ecology of Technics” in 2009. The Japanese edition is forthcoming from Sangen-Sha Press, Tokyo. The Polish edition is forthcoming from Oficyna Naukowa, Warszawa.

The most recent book on “Hybrid Culures” (2010) discusses on hybridity in digital media arts with a focus on Japan (English edition forthcoming).
