Coded Cultures: City as Interface
21/09 - 02/10/2011

Coded Cultures is an multinational initiative of the group 5uper.net to 
discuss and reflect the intersections of media, art, society and 
technology in experimental settings of exihibitions, workshops, 
symposia, presentations and artistic interventions. For the fourth time, 
Coded Cultures presents a forum to discuss and present (new) media arts, 
digital communities and positions itself in the current international 
(media arts) discurse. Coded Cultures 2011: The City as Interface takes 
place from september 21st to october 2nd and is located around the 
second district (Leopoldstadt) in Vienna, Austria.

Cultural accomplishments of individuals or differently organized forms 
of human beings in context with an ever-changing (transforming) 
environment bring manifold products and processes to surface: cultural 
artifacts, »distributed agencies«, »framed interactivity« , collective 
ideas. The city as artistic playfield is used to present Coded Cultures 
2011 in a dislocated way, presenting new media arts, media architecture, 
hacktivism and similar fields of expression with a strong focus on 
intermediation and discursivity. Through interactive and experimental 
forms of presentation, accompanied by classical forms of displaying new 
media arts (such as exhibitions and performances) the role of media 
arts, media artists and art festivals as such are to be discussed, 
presented and reflected upon.
