Trans_European Picnic: The Art and Media of Accession 
29 April - 01 May 2004 
Novi Sad, Serbia 
Hosted by kuda.org, Novi Sad in collaboration with V2_Institute for the 
Unstable Media, Rotterdam 

************************************************************************ 

On May 1, 2004 the European Union will expand beyond its current 'core 
Europe' constellation to include, for the first time, nations of the former 
Eastern and Non-Aligned Blocks. Through a two-day electronic media arts and 
culture gathering in and around the city of Novi Sad (Serbia), not far beyond 
the European Union's new transnational edge, the Trans_European Picnic will 
bring together artists, theoreticians and media practitioners from across 
Europe. 

Through workshops, debates, open projects, performances and screenings, the 
Picnic will explore the changing cultural and artistic landscape within and 
beyond this new conglomerate of competing cultures, economies and identities.
