User Frames in Media Arts

In 2009 I curated a large scope media art exhibition. ‘Uncharted: User Frames in Media Arts’ (Please follow the link for the video for a general view of the exhibition http://vimeo.com/13642152 ). Back then I was commissioned to make this media arts research focused on user participation and interaction and to organize the exhibition. I already met with many artists at various festivals and joint exhibitions where I was also showing my works. They were all dealing with digital media and interaction design. I had a vague idea to put things together around the physical engagement of the visitors, heavily inspired by cyberculture of the late 80’s. Furthermore the name of the exhibition is taken from an interview by William Gibson where he was talking about his book titled ‘Neuromancer’ and he says ‘…there are no maps for these territories…’
