The EMAF is one of the most influential forums of international Media Art. As a meeting point for artists, curators, distributors, gallery owners and an audience of specialists, the festival has a great impact on the topic and aesthetics of Media Art. Each year the festival offers its visitors a current overview of new experimental films, performances, lectures, an exhibition and the Media Campus.
Productions by internationally renowned media artists and the innovative works of new masters from the academies will be presented at the 23nd European Media Art Festival (21-25 April 2010). The EMAF is one of the most influential forums of international Media Art. As a meeting point for artists, curators, distributors, gallery owners and an audience of specialists, the festival has a great impact on the topic and aesthetics of Media Art. Each year the festival offers its visitors a current overview of new experimental films, performances, lectures, an exhibition and the Media Campus.
The frame of content of the festival is ranging from personal and political subjects or formal experiments to provocative statements.
The motto of the 2010 festival is MASH UP, reflected in film programmes, lectures and specials.
Today, the reinterpretation and re-coding of media content, works of art and music take place in popular culture and art alike. In the process, mashing up citations and references evolves into the aesthetic, satirical and subversive stylistic device, where it also infringes on the rights of third parties.
The EMAF 2010
CINEMA
Experimental shorts and feature films, music videos, new forms of narration and documentation as well as specials.
EXHIBITION
The latest installations from 21 April to 24 May 2010 in the Kunsthalle Dominikanerkirche.
The exhibition at the European Media Art Festival gives visitors an overview of the latest array of creations by international media artists. In addition to current works containing various mixed-media sculptures, the subject of the festival will focus on MASH UP works, which will be on show until 24 May. These works advance the ironic game involving the reuse of found material. After all, re-mixing boulders from the quarry of the media has evolved into a widespread cultural technique of creative adaptation and the fundamental principle of culture in the digital age.

MEDIA CAMPUS
The contact and project exchange for new projects, tendencies and training concepts from the media universities, academies of art and design colleges of Europe.
