Special attention will be paid to the specifics regarding production and rights that evolve from interrelations between museum – author – agency – certified producer. By employing the main subject: What are new media? – the symposium will thematically process temporal definition, production, keeping and presenting of (new)media art, as well as artistic features and influences that new media and digital technologies exert on contemporary museum presentation practice. SPHERES AND MAIN SUBJECTS new media and cultural heritage production / artwork the diversity of museum material and the status of (new)media artworks in museum collections the conditions of keeping and the modes of exhibiting the museum in a role of producer, risks, rights and duties, experiences and prognoses the influence of technological development on museum institutions, interaction between (new)media – institution - artists global information system and museums Detail information on symposium: By organizing the symposium (New)Media Art in Museums we wish to stimulate colleagues from the museum profession and artists towards reflection, writing and discussion on interesting and actual subject of new and digital media, the various means in which the latter are implemented into museum activities and art creation, as well as their influence in forming the views on contemporary world. The symposium's subject is defined, yet opened towards problematizing the experiences and insights from both theory and practice. We take special interest in the present state of artworks from the countries of the symposium's participants, as well as in institutional interest and actual artists. We hope for the high number of participants as it will enable us to develop discussion, provide practical examples and create conditions for quality comparison. We wish to reach conclusions on situation both within the region and globally. We take special interest in discussing the following subjects: - relation between media and museums - the percentage of representation of (new)media works in the specialized museums of visual art - institutions' relation to (new)media museum items - author's rights (author and collaborators...) - relation between original and copy (the number of copies, ethics) - conservatorial procedures that are applied when a (new) media artwork is endangered due to a process in which it happens to be (keeping, outdated technology) Abstracts, papers: Besides five invited international experts we expect applications from museum professionals, artists and other interested experts from Croatia and abroad.
