NETMAGE 02

CREATIVE AND INNOVATIVE IMAGES ON ART, MEDIA, COMMUNICATION

INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL
produced in collaboration with Diesel

Bologna  December 6th - 9th, 2001













>From the 6th through the 9th of December,  the city of Bologna will host the second edition of Netmage, an international festival dedicated to celebrating innovation in the vast field of contemporary visual arts.



Netmage 02 will focus primarily on multimedia design ­ on images and on cutting-edge ³styling.²  Our aim is a celebration of the new, the innovative, the talented.



A multiscreen projector, developed explicitly for this event, will enable the viewing of original audiovisual materials produced ad hoc for the first ever European prize in video-jing, the artistic medium which utilizes web, CD rom, dvd, and video clips in exciting live performances before an audience.  


Over the course of its four days, Netmage will serve as the meeting point for young creative minds and talented multi-media artists from all over Europe.


The 2001 edition is produced in collaboration with Diesel, thus enabling the creation of the Netmage Diesel Award.  This prize will be awarded on the fourth day of the festival by a jury of experts.  The first and second prize consist in the funding to produce an original showreel of the artists¹ work.



Every night, special guests will perform live electronic and eletroacoustic music.  Specifically, three international groups, renowned for their fame in this field, are invited: the Norscq (Paris), the Farmersmanuelle (Mego ­ Vienna) and the Dat Politics (Paris).



Performances which make innovative use of images are also in store. The theatrical group Motus will debut the new edition of their Rooms project  (Room 101), an experiment in digital imaging.  Rooms is installation; at once theatre and cinema; real, hyperreal and fiction.  In this performance, Motus creates for us two parallel worlds: a hotel room and a second ³digital² room, which changes and interacts with the first.



Netmage will also host a series of afternoon workshops (illustrating international scenarios, involving screenings and discussions) led by specially invited production teams.  Among these, London¹s Onedotzero and Paris¹ Batofar.  We will close with a workshop illustrating the birth of the new Italian art scene curated by Rome's Ala Est . 



Every day, the curious festival-goer will have the opportunity to browse materials related to artists and guests in a special consulting library.



Netmage was created and realized by Xing, a team active in Bologna, Milan, Rome and Paris, dedicated to celebrating the arts without artificially-imposed boundaries:  music, performance, visual arts, cinema, and communications media.
