Trondheim Matchmaking is a meeting point to present innovative ideas 
and artistic projects, a place to ensure and develop competence and 
resources within new technology and electronic arts.
New art projects with a need for technology – new technologies with a 
need for substance: an attempt to bind together resources and 
competence within the field.

Till this year's festival, like last year, we've invited international 
capacities, that in addition to local and national researchers and 
artists present a very diverse set of artistic- and research- projects 
within new technologies and electronical art. All together more than 60 
participants!

In addition to presentations and concerts at Blue Garden, we arrange, 
in cooperation with Theater AvantGarden performances with 
Verdensteateret and Kreutzer Kompani at Trondheim Kunstmuseum and TAG. 
New of this year is that we curate and produce an exhibition at 
Trøndelag Senter for Samtidskunst, opening saturday, October 16th.

This year's festival is among other themes focusing on electronical art 
in public spaces. We see an increasing demand for electronic art as 
permanent public installations. This bring upon us a whole new range of 
issues to be mapped and discussed.
PNEK, the Production Network for Electronic Arts, Norway, has in 
cocperation with NOTAM recently published a book on the subject. We 
have invited Janne Stang Dahl (PNEK coordinator) and co-editor of the 
book, "Elektronisk kunst i det offentlige rom" (Electronic Arts in 
Public Spaces) to enlighten this subject.

Following up on this, we've brought a row full of artists to present a 
diverse set of artistic projects, like for instance: Natalie 
Jeremijenko, artist/ professor, UCSD, San Diego, "Fishy Interactions", 
human interaction with fish (for possible permanent location in 
Trondheim), Anna Hill, artist, Dublin: "Space Synnaps Systems" 
(sculptures in space), Even Westvang, artist, Oslo, "Nomen Nominandum" 
(digital decor. Byåsen skole), Helen Varley, netartist, London: 
"Upstage" (open-source application, creating a web-based venue for 
'cyberformance'.), Bjarne Kvinnsland, composer, Oslo, "The Tunnel of 
Light".

We take a closer look at the and demoscene, Multimedia art created by 
hacker and cracker artist; Lassi Tasajärvi, Helsinki, presents the 
first nordic book on the subject: "Demoscene: The Art of Real-Time".
Digital lifestyle and interaction: Gisle Hannemyr, writer/ speaker, 
Oslo: "Digital lifestyle", Dag Svanes, researcher, NTNU, Trondheim: 
"Understanding the interactive experience", Lotte Sederholm, Örebro: 
"Interactive nordic sculpture park", John Hopkins, nomade: "A life with 
open-source code".

EXHIBITION: "eXistens"

"eXistens" is a misspelling of the norwegian word "eksistens", 
[existence ].
The exhibition shows art projects where new life, or new realities, 
created through digital and electronic artworks are the focusing point. 
Some of the works seem to appear as autonomous identities, in their own 
universe and with their own life-cycle.

Laura Beloff & Erich Berger: "Spinne"
Hilde & Bård Tørdal: "Boyscouts ate my mothers brain!" 2004
