FUTURE CINEMA
- > program
FUTURE THEATRE, in a
two-day symposium dealing specifically with theater, takes up the
theme of the exhibition FUTURE CINEMA, pursuing the question as
to how much the old medium of theater, in its various forms, and
with its concepts of narration, dramaturgy, space, time, reception/interaction
influences the new narrative forms in the internet, in computer
games, etc. Already at the beginning of the 1990s Brenda Laurel
emphasized in her book Computers as Theatre a possible model function
of theater for the structuring and presentation of »content«
in the new media. On the other hand, the forms of communication
which have crystallized from out of the media, likewise have effects
on theater, opening new varieties, which may be described using
the term »intermediality of theater« [Petra M. Meyer].
The symposium aims to provide an interim balance on
the subject. What is going on in this field located somewhere between
theater, installation, film, and net art? What projects exist which
are often overlooked in the discourse on media theory and, for practical
reasons, likewise scarcely find a place in the seasons theater
schedules? Invited to take part are theater and media critics as
well as selected artists who will introduce their projectsprojects
which were created and realized from out of the theater and which
will enrich the discussion on the media arts in specific ways with
new experiences and ideas.
