The mushroom-like growth of new media technologies is radically challenging traditional media outlets. The proliferation of technologies like DVDs, MP3s and the Internet has freed the public from what we used to understand as “mass media.” In the face of such seismic shifts and ruptures, the theoretical and pedagogical foundations of film and TV studies are being shaken to their core. New Media demands a necessary rethinking of the field. Writing from a range of disciplines and perspectives, the scholars here outline new theses and conceptual frameworks capable of engaging the numerous facets of emergent digital technology.

“A Handbook for Coding Cultures provides a lasting companion to the inspiring projects and topical currents of thought explored in the Coding Cultures Symposium and Concept Lab. Six invited writers and groups from Australia, Belgium, Brazil, England, Italy and Hong Kong share their experiences of building imaginative digital tools, social networks, open labs and internet-based knowledge platforms for communication and creativity. Complementing these commissioned texts are contributions from our guest artists from Canada, England and Jamaica. Artist statements from Symposium speakers completes this snapshot of contemporary cultural practice.”

Filed under magazine | Tags: · art, digital culture, media, media culture, media theory, new media
Mediamatic was established in 1985 as a meeting place for television- and videoartists and theorists. A year later Mediamatic Magazine was born: an internationally published quarterly about art and new media. It quickly acquired a legendary status among new media lovers around the world. From 1993 on Mediamatic was present on the internet and every Mediamatic Magazine was supplemented with a cd-rom.
In 2000 Mediamatic continued its publications under the title Mediamatic Off-Line. Mediamatic Off-Line was an irregularly appearing series, always connected to an autonomous artistic project that was presented on the accompanying cd-rom or dvd. Mediamatic published some now (in)famous cd-roms created by Gerald van der Kaap, JoDi, Doors of Perception and Florian Thalhofer. The last edition of Mediamatic Offline appeared in 2007.
