immedia mission.

the immedia electronic art exhibition has developed from a community of
artists and thinkers interested in the artistic possibilities of new
technologies. the immedia community exhibits the best of such art,
eschewing reckless application of powerful technology in favor of
electronic art which seeks deeper understandings of technology's
relationship with art and life in contemporary society.
as with any art, electronic art must explain our world to us in new ways,
helping us understand and relate to our environment. the immedia community
believes that the sweeping changes already wrought by television and those
still to be realized by computers and digital devices necessitate a new
art. this new art, reacting with and against new technologies has a deep
responsibility towards guiding humankind's future interactions with its
new electronic environment. technology must be used in creative,
intelligent ways to ensure an expressive future. the immedia exhibition
hinges on the belief that it is the electronic artist's responsibility to
realize the full creative potential of digital and analog devices.



immedia theme                          the senses
our technological environment has extended our senses and nerves to
a global scale. eminent developments offer new sensory experiences
impossible without technology. this reality defines our existences.
recognizing this, entity has elected the senses as the theme for
immedia 2002 as a celebration of the expressive potential of these
extensions.
