Synopsis:

The Art, Space and Technology in the Digital Era Conference proposes an international debate around the relation

between art and technology in the contemporary digital age. It specially underlines the impact of new media on

our life. The digital technologies have created a new model of perception of the diverse aspects of the reality. The changes they produce make us reconsider the condition of our modern life, while they drive us to explore their potential. The post-modern syntax is remodeled and new positions are defended sustaining the arguments of a superindustrialized society. Science and technology must always force the borderlines of knowledge in our times, while art must mirror these experiences. Our way of life and our expectations change constantly according to these new limits. The importance we give to the different aspects of life and the way our activities model the space are constantly questioned and reconceived according to the permanent flow of innovations. What models of perception and understanding of our environment do we employ ? How do we use the potential of our tools, if we admit their influence on our way of life ? What traps are to be avoided ? What are we to expect from technology ? Should we worry about the place of the new technologies in our life ? Considering artistic and esthetic experiences, we will study the ways in which digital technologies influence image, sound and space today.
