RENEWABLE FUTURES 2015:
Transformative Potential of Art in the Age of Post-Media

The 1st edition of new academic art and science conference series,
complemented by the RIXC annual festival programme

October 8-10, 2015, Riga, Latvia

http://renewablefutures.net

The Renewable Futures is a new conference series in the Baltic Sea
and North European region that aims to invent new avenues for more
sustainable and imaginative future developments. It will shape new
contact zones between traditionally separated domains - art and
science, academic research and independent creative practices,
sustainable businesses and social engagement in the 21st century.

The 1st conference edition will take place in Riga, from October
8-10, 2015, and it will primarily focus on exploring the
transformative potential of art in the post-media conditions. Today,
according to several voices - Rosalind Krauss, Lev Manovich, Peter
Weibel and Domenico Quaranta - we have entered the post-media age;
there is no any single medium anymore that dominates in contemporary
media art practices that are rather engaged with contemporaneity and
critical thinking. The huge diversity of "post-media art" was
profoundly explored also in the Fields exhibition (Riga 2014,
fields.rixc.org), curated by Raitis Smits, Armin Medosch and Rasa
Smite. The Fields showed that art in post-media conditions contains
highly transformative and visionary potential. However, symbolic and
aesthetic qualities, as well as critical, investigative and
confrontational aspects also proved to be just as important for
"post-media art" to maintain a line between physical and mental,
realities and utopias.

THEMES:

	* post-media art, avantgarde practices and theories
	* 'slow' media art - preservation challenges for the museums
	* art and science - for building techno-ecological perspective
	* technopolitical investigations into the informational paradigm
	* Big Data and media visualizations
	* post-media architecture, sustainable design and open business
	* culture for sustainable development in the Baltic Sea
Region & North Europe

CALL FOR FESTIVAL PROPOSALS - ART WORKS, WORKSHOPS, PERFORMANCES AND
SHOWCASE PRESENTATIONS:

The conference will be complemented by a broad programme of the
RIXC's annual "Art+Communication" festival, which in its 17th edition
will manifest the "post-media situation" by changing its title and a
shift - it will take a turn from the festival's initial focus on
information & communication technologies paradigm to the broader and
more contemporary discourse on art and science, culture and
sustainability, with particular interest to explore and build
techno-ecological perspective.

This year's festival will feature a "post-media art" exhibition,
workshops, performances and showcase presentations by artists, who in
their work are blurring the boundaries between different disciplines.

DEADLINE FOR FESTIVAL PROPOSALS EXTENDED: May 15, 2015

We encourage artists to submit their proposals for artworks /
performances / showcase-presentations / workshops by sending a short
description (250 words), a biography (200 words), as well as other
complementing material (images, links, video, etc.) via e-mail: rixc
(at) rixc.lv
