Artistic creation through artificial life techniques
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
In the context of the 25th anniversary of Ars Electronica, Christa Sommerer and Laurent Mignonneau are taking a look at the last 25 years of Media Art development, seeing it as a good opportunity to reflect on how Media Art has been evolving and also about the direction that it should be taking in the future. Their reflections are also producing questions and concerns as to what will happen to our privacy, our feelings and our relationship with nature in the evolution of technology and art in society. In their investigations, Christa and Laurent experiment with new ways of information communication and communication of feelings between people. In their artworks, they apply scientific principles in interactive installation, creating natural and intuitive interfaces.
Interviewed by Pau Alsina, professor of Humanities Studies at the UOC, at Ars Electronica 2004. Recorded by Pau Waelder (Artactiva).
