An international debate on the interplay of art and the electronic media: current trends, cross-pollination and impetus.

The stellar array of attendees included Helga de la Motte, Katheleine Forde and many other proponents of a variety of leading-edge approaches to the symposium’s theme. This interdisciplinary encounter brought out opportunities, limits and challenges inherent in the reciprocal impact of the arts and the electronic media, including their theoretical, technological, sociological, aesthetic and pedagogical implications.

A linkage also emerged between the symposium and Linz09’s Acoustic City project: Jacques van Vlasselaers spoke about R. Murray Schafer, a Canadian composer and acoustic philosopher whose work has provided orientation for Acoustic City’s development ever since the project’s inception.
