New Media Art & Archive - Session II: Artist

What is the difference between archive and collection? How can video tapes be stored safely? Is it possible to replace the original mechanics of the device with a computer algorithm?
The series deals with the complex issue of archiving new media works of art in public institutions. It focuses on the full range of activities necessary for the technical protection of the work, its correct interpretation and presentation.
The series is based on the Olomouc Museum of Art: New Media Museums project prepared in cooperation with the Slovak National Gallery, WRO Art Center, C³ - Kulturális és Kommunikációs Központ and PAF - Film Animation and Contemporary Art Festival. It reflects the current Central European situation, but tries to put it in a more general context.
The aim is to start a lively discussion platform and share knowledge across institutions. Workshops are thus open not only to students and the professional public but also to interested members of the general public.

Attila Csörgő (HU) - Jana Bernartová (CZ) - Pawel Janicki (PL) - Michael Bielický (CZ/ DE)

Jana Bernartová

Jana Bernartová (1983) has graduated at the Faculty of Arts and Architecture at the Technical University of Liberec, where she studied in the Studio of Visual Communication - Digital Media (Stanislav Zippe, 2003–2007). During those years she also studied at the atelier of photography and intermedia led by Ľubo Stach at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bratislava (2006–2007) and in the studio of intermedia led by Václav Stratil at the Faculty of Fine Arts, Brno University of Technology (2007–2009).

Attila Csörgő

Attila Csörgő (1965) studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Budapest (painting/intermedia faculty, 1988-1994) and Rijksakademie van beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam (1993). His works explore the adjoining territories of art and science. He makes experiments with carefully engineered devices of his own design, with cameras and optical apparatuses – investigations attesting to a mindset that is playful and humorous, as well as philosophical. With the often surprising and amusing experiments, he tries to create and visualize motions and phenomena that are imperceptible for the human eye. He assembles his objects, which almost function like representations of rules of geometry, from everyday objects and materials, which he places in unusual situations.

Michael Bielický
Web: https://www.bielicky.net
Michael Bielicky (1954) emigrated from Czechoslovakia to Germany in 1969. After working as a photographer in the USA, he studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf (1984-1988),
from 1987 as a student of Nam June Paik in his master class, whom he then served as an assistant until 1989. In 1988 he received a study grant from the Cité Internationale des Arts, Paris. In 1991 he became one of the founding teaching staff in the department of New
Media at the Akademie vytvarnych umení, Prague. Bielicky lives in Prague, Düsseldorf and Karlsruhe.

Pawel Janicki
web: https://www.paweljanicki.jp
Pawel Janicki (1974) is an independent media artist and producer working with generative music, microsound and algorithmic composition, interactive systems for performances and installations, and his own hard- and software. His work draws mainly on the achievements of music, contemporary and media art and posthumanist practice - but he constructs forms different from the existing ones. He engages a wide spectrum of techniques, approaches
and protocols: creates works using synthetic senses, programming techniques — also in the modern, cognitive incarnation — and elements of space and material engineering. An important role in Janicki's creativity is drawn from historical and current contexts - in particular the perceived history of art and something that could be called the history of thinking. He cooperates with WRO Art Center, where he leads the WRO Laboratory.
