An international art project, '''REMAKE: REthinking Media Arts in C(K)ollaborative Environments''', is a follow-up to an ongoing collaborative research of history of media art and culture under the title [[Monoskop:About|Monoskop]], initiated by an artist and writer [[Dušan Barok]]. Several cultural organizations, coordinated by [[Atrakt Art]] as a main organizer, started REMAKE with a simple idea: to approach this online research in an interesting and playful way and accept the challenge to create contemporary art works inspired by history of media art particularly in Central and Eastern Europe. Rather than framing itself in a traditional exhibition format, REMAKE is a dynamic event, presenting certain stage in this project’s thinking.

<blockquote> ''“Postproduction artists are agents of the evolution, the specialized workers of cultural reappropriation. [...] Now what is at stake is to positivize the REMAKE, to articulate uses, to place forms in relation to each other, rather than to embark on the heroic quest for the forbidden and the sublime that characterized modernism.“
+
A central piece of this two-year creative and social experiment is a travelling exhibition REMAKE. Artists and independent curators from a network of congenial international teams were working to find the best way to mediate important pioneering media art works (often ignored by international art history) and approach them in today’s context. Works and practices of artists such as [[Stanisław Dróżdż]], [[Vladimir Bonačić]] or a pioneer of Slovak acoustic-electric music [[Jozef Malovec]] had proven to be invaluable source of inspiration and a great material for progressive contemporary art. Some artists found works that were most inspiring for them: team from Icelandic [[Lost Horse Gallery]] picked synesthetic works by Russian group [[Prometei]] from the 1960s, students’ platform [[Standuino]] was inspired by ''kludging'' of a musician and teacher from the Faculty of Fine Arts (Brno University of Technology) [[Stanislav Filip]] and his specific DIY pieces.

The project aimed to lift the art works from their embeddedness in their local histories to international context. Their relationships and connections within the exhibition reflected subjective view of important parts of art history and development of technologies. The exhibition had several stages, and offered its visitors a range of events as well as a space for research and interaction. The idea of the show – working with already existing art works – contributed also to a discussion about perception of art as intellectual property or, on the contrary, as a source of inspiration.

REMAKE is an [[Atrakt Art]] project funded by Culture Programme of the EU. It is aimed at collaborative production and international presentation of new artworks, inspired by the rich history of European media art. The project is building on a research conducted in the recent years by a group of art theorists, called MONOSKOP (initiated by [[Dušan Barok]]), a collaborative research on new media art and electronic culture in Europe. The research examines also the social context of historical developments in new media art in Europe (with special focus on Central and Eastern Europe): analysis of sociopoetic conditions of art and technology crossings from 1960s to 2000s draws upon the undertakings in experimental and avantgarde film, performance art, computer art, video art, experimental music, sound art, and media theory.
+
Another outcome of this project is a bilingual issue of [[3/4|3/4 magazine]]. It serves as a catalogue for the exhibition, and it also brings, for the first time, a selection of interviews done by [[Dušan Barok]] with personalities and media art and culture history-makers [[Diana McCarty]], [[Michal Murin]], [[Călin Man]], [[Rasa Smite]] and [[Raitis Smits]]. Interviews are complemented by a passage from monograph about [[Steina and Woody Vasulka]], entitled ''Dialogue with Daemons of Tools'' by art historian [[Lenka Dolanová]], views on art scenes in Ukraine and Iceland and appendix showing the process of development of works for Remake exhibition.

The aim of the REMAKE project (2010-2012) is to enhance this on-going research in an appealing, playful and artistically-challenging way: by producing and presenting a set of up-to-date artworks which will be inspired by particular well-known (but also forgotten) pieces of media art history in different European countries. The public outputs will be supervised and the artistic selection conducted by outstanding as well as young media art curators from several countries invited by the project coorganizers. An important part of the project is circulation of ideas and connection to universities, research and education. Therefore, project will involve not only well-known artists, but also gifted young generation including art students and their teachers.

REMAKE focuses on creating artworks, collaborative shows and academic events in selected centers for contemporary art of Europe. The project consists of workshops, artistic residencies, public shows (exhibitions in Brno, Cluj, Nantes, Reykjavik, multimedia performances in Bratislava, Brno and other venues), university lectures and public discussions supporting mobility of lecturers/artists, as well as „collaborative lectures“ and other presentation formats combining theory and practice.

REMAKE / REthinking Media Art in K(C)ollaborative Environments

An international art project, REMAKE: REthinking Media Arts in C(K)ollaborative Environments, is a follow-up to an ongoing collaborative research of history of media art and culture under the title Monoskop, initiated by an artist and writer Dušan Barok. Several cultural organizations, coordinated by Atrakt Art as a main organizer, started REMAKE with a simple idea: to approach this online research in an interesting and playful way and accept the challenge to create contemporary art works inspired by history of media art particularly in Central and Eastern Europe. Rather than framing itself in a traditional exhibition format, REMAKE is a dynamic event, presenting certain stage in this project’s thinking.

A central piece of this two-year creative and social experiment is a travelling exhibition REMAKE. Artists and independent curators from a network of congenial international teams were working to find the best way to mediate important pioneering media art works (often ignored by international art history) and approach them in today’s context. Works and practices of artists such as Stanisław Dróżdż, Vladimir Bonačić or a pioneer of Slovak acoustic-electric music Jozef Malovec had proven to be invaluable source of inspiration and a great material for progressive contemporary art. Some artists found works that were most inspiring for them: team from Icelandic Lost Horse Gallery picked synesthetic works by Russian group Prometei from the 1960s, students’ platform Standuino was inspired by kludging of a musician and teacher from the Faculty of Fine Arts (Brno University of Technology) Stanislav Filip and his specific DIY pieces.

The project aimed to lift the art works from their embeddedness in their local histories to international context. Their relationships and connections within the exhibition reflected subjective view of important parts of art history and development of technologies. The exhibition had several stages, and offered its visitors a range of events as well as a space for research and interaction. The idea of the show – working with already existing art works – contributed also to a discussion about perception of art as intellectual property or, on the contrary, as a source of inspiration.

Another outcome of this project is a bilingual issue of 3/4 magazine. It serves as a catalogue for the exhibition, and it also brings, for the first time, a selection of interviews done by Dušan Barok with personalities and media art and culture history-makers Diana McCarty, Michal Murin, Călin Man, Rasa Smite and Raitis Smits. Interviews are complemented by a passage from monograph about Steina and Woody Vasulka, entitled Dialogue with Daemons of Tools by art historian Lenka Dolanová, views on art scenes in Ukraine and Iceland and appendix showing the process of development of works for Remake exhibition.
