  • Cultures on Screen
    Cultures on Screen Dialogue with the creative community Looking at 27 years of Catholics working in cinema (1979-2004) Let me start my presentation by quoting three opinions. The first one is an old one. It was expressed around 1920 by Msgr. Charost, bishop of Lille, in France. I found it published in a compilation of a series of documents issued by the Churches about media. I used it in a booklet I wrote about Catholics and Cinema. That compilation was prepared by a group called “Mediatech” linked to the Catholic University of Lyon, under the title: "Les médias.Textes des Eglises" (Centurion, Paris, 1990). That group does not exist anymore. On page 34, one could read the following: (I translate it from the French) "Ce peuple de Flandre… aime à suivre, "These people of Flanders like to follow, passif et réceptif, des fictions lumineuses passive and susceptible, fictions made plus irréelles par leurs combinaisons more unreal by their utter flimsiness than fantaisistes que par leur inconsistance by their fantastic creations. Fascinatio impalpable. Fascinatio nugacitatis nugacitatis obscurat bona. And by a obscurat bona. Et par un changement change so pitiful, its imagination, up to tout aussi déplorable, son imagination, here so simple and quiet, becomes jusqu'ici simple et tranquille, devient aflame through the undefined shock of ardente sous le choc indéfini des images the images rendered, by the magic of the rendues, par la magie de la lumière et par light and by the romantic situations, more les situations romanesques, plus seductive

E tra questi due fatti c’è una stretta correlazione, perché la scelta di rimanere a Torino - dove la Rai ha i suoi punti di forza e dove Città e Regione rappresentano un solido sostegno culturale - ci ha consentito di intraprendere un graduale percorso di cambiamento. Il Festival internazionale oggi si presenta molto trasformato. Ha aggiornato la sua formula spettacolare e di approfondimento, esteso gli eventi in Italia e all’estero, digitalizzato il concorso e aperto le porte alla multimedialità e a forme di produzione indipendente. Tutto ciò senza smarrire il senso profondo della ricerca dell’etica e della bellezza intesa come qualità.

  • Monika Fleischmann & Wolfgang Strauss
    5th May Local Time UYT (UTC -3) 11:30 Opening 12:00 Inaugural Lecture “Imagine a space filled with data - the architecture of interactivity” Monika Fleischmann & Wolfgang Strauss (Germany) ​ Special Invitee: Derrick de Kerckhove (Italy) Introduction & Moderation: Anja Pratschke (Brazil) Contributions: Margit Rosen, Daniel Becker (Germany), Karin Ohlenschlaeger (Spain) and Ryszard W. Kluszczyński (Poland) Resume In a retrospective Monika Fleischmann and Wolfgang Strauss discuss their participatory concepts and interactive artworks from the late 1980s to the time when participation became possible on the Internet in the 2000s. They do this with the concept of the ‚thinking space‘ (Denkraum, Aby Warburg, 1929), and understand it as an „evocative object in a culture of simulation“ (Sherry Turkle, 2004), or as ‚a space filled with data‘ that is intended to stimulate learning and thinking. Their artwork shows the development of the interface from a physical object like a table to a virtual environment like a mixed reality stage. With the advent of the Internet, the interface changes to an operative image (Sybille Krämer, 2009). In "Berlin, Cyber City" (1989), after the fall oft he Berlin wall, visitors dive into virtual Berlin with a sensor in their hands and gain new perspectives. They discuss the current situation around an interactive table and take on "a position in the world that is not their own" (Hannah Arendt, 1960). With "Home of the Brain" (1990), the artists not only reflect on the new medium, but the discourse itself is shown as a philosophical debate in a virtual exhibition, which the visitor accesses with head mounted display and data gloves.

  • Mcluhan and the "Toronto School of Communication"
    MCLUHAN AND THE "TORONTO SCHOOL OF COMMUNICATION" Derrick de Kerckhove McLuhan Program and Department of French University of Toronto How does one recognize a "school" of thought ? And why should one? These are questions that, concerning a truly distinctive and now distinguished intellectual trend originating in Toronto, I have entertained since the death of Marshall McLuhan on the last day of 1980. At the time I was impressed by the fact that Harold Innis, Eric Havelock and McLuhan, the three main scholars who taught that communication systems create definite psychological and social "states", had all been at the university of Toronto. The most significant common thread was that all three had explored different implications of ancient Greek literacy to support their theoretical approach.
