<strong>paraflows</strong><strong>08</strong> - festival for<br />
digital arts and cultures ::<br />
The topic of the 3rd festival for<br />
digital arts and cultures in the<br />
city of Vienna is UTOPIA.<br />
UTOPIA: The term utopia, the<br />
non-place, derived from old<br />
Greek u-, non, and tópos,<br />
place, denotes a nowhere which<br />
is untraceable and therefore<br />
projecting all longing into an<br />
unreachable beyond. Utopia is<br />
therefore an imagination which<br />
is thinkable as an idea, yet is<br />
not directly realisable. It is the<br />
great dream, concept, and<br />
vision of a world or a time with<br />
a new social, religious or<br />
technical order.<br />
UTOPIA can be traced back to<br />
the book De Optimo Reipublicae Statu deque nova insula<br />
Utopia Libellus vere aureaus, nec minus salutaris quam<br />
festivus (Of the best state law and of the new island Utopia,<br />
truly a golden booklet, as pleasant as it is cheerful) by Thomas<br />
Morus which was first published in 1516. The text alludes to<br />
positive scenarios of technical, spatial and social constructs<br />
which have not been realised. Usually, technology plays a<br />
major role in utopian phantasms. More often than not their<br />
realistic implementation is a matter of availability of<br />
technology and very often it is especially in digital art the<br />
starting point of a work of art.<br />
In 20<strong>08</strong>, Paraflows <strong>08</strong> UTOPIA will try to develop the<br />
perspective, the linguistic roots of which corresponds with last<br />
years exhibitions. In the context of the topic UTOPIA, we want<br />
to gather concepts of a possible future, draw perspectives,<br />
dreams and prognoses, dare take a prognostic look at the<br />
future. Directly tying in with last years festival topic UN_SPACE<br />
which dealt with non-space and impossible spaces this year<br />
we will again strive to provide a multi-layered examination<br />
involving the overwhelming architectonic and historical reality<br />
of the venue the MAK Gegenwartskunstdepot Gefechtsturm<br />
Arenbergpark.<br />
