Além do Symposium, o Festival contou com instalações, arte-mídia, games, arte sonora, cinema, performance. Dentre as instalações, destaco especialmente o trabalho do alemão Markus Kison - Roermond-Ecke-Schönhauser (2005), em que imagens de quatro webcams espacialmente distantes e distintas (um cruzamento na Dinamarca, uma lavanderia em Amsterdâ, um pátio em Berlim e um mercado na Holanda) são projetadas com a ajuda de uma construção espelhada em quatro modelos tridimensionais desses mesmos lugares. Um trabalho delicado, que remete às lanternas mágicas do século XIX, conforme descrição do próprio autor.
Ainda na sessão de instalações, outros trabalhos cujos temas ou linguagens se articulam com a nossa pesquisa: Alter Ego, de Alexa Wright [GRB], Vacant City Ghosts, de Bjorn Wangen [SWE], The Ball in the hole, de Silvano Gallani & Eleonora Oreggia [ITA] e Dreamlines , de Leonardo Solanas [ARG].
No File Mídia Arte, que reúne mais de 200 trabalhos, listo alguns (sem nenhum critério de valor) que abordam temas privilegiados neste blog:
My Google Search History, de Albertine Meunier [FRA]
"My Google Search History is a set of movies, sounds and text inventory with all my search requests done since 2006 on Google search engine. Displayed as an inventory, my searchs show a full selfportrait. Like a big souvenir movie, this video can refresh the small things i was looking for at specific moments. Beyond this autoportrait feature, this project highlights privacy concerns on internet and more particularly privacy concerns on personal data and Google. With this video we can easily see the incredible amount of personal information Google has on ourselves. This inventory allows you to peep into my privacy as Google can".
Self-portrait, de Ethan Ham [USA]
"The photos in Self-Portrait come from a software search through the millions of photos on flickr.com. Using facial-recognition, the software seeks out photos that are likely to contain the artist Ethan Ham. Self-Portrait takes the mechanical process of photography and extends the machine's role to include editorial selection."
Public Secrets, de Erik Loyer & Sharon Daniel
"Public Secrets is a multi-vocal narrative that links individual testimony and public evidence, social theory and personal statements, in an effort to engage the public in a critical dialogue about crime and punishment and challenge the assumption that imprisonment provides a solution to social problems. A collaboration with artist/scholar Sharon Daniel."
Vanishing Point, de Mauricio Arango [COL]
"Vanishing Point is a presentation of the world as it responds to international newspaper coverage - not a measure of what the world is, but of what is most newsworthy. Consequently, countries that receive less media coverage gradually disappear from view. It consists of a projection of an interactive world map -connected to a database fed by international news sources- set against a reading area in which a daily copy of selected newspapers is displayed. At the end of every day, those newspaper copies are piled up on a shelf. After a few weeks the accumulated piles of newspapers and the projection of the resulting world map offer a poignant contrast".
Flickr Graph, de Marcos Weskamp [ARG]
"Flickr Graph is an application that explores the social relationships inside flickr.com. It makes use of the classic attraction-repulsion algorithm for graphs. Start exploring your contacts by entering your flickr username or the email address you used to register there."
