Welcome to ACM Multimedia '96 Special Events Conference-at-a-Glance Ongoing Events Courses Technical Papers Panels Registration Course Selections Hotels Conference Organization Welcome to ACM Multimedia '96 In what seems in retrospect to have been an astonishingly short time, multimedia has progressed from a technically- challenging curiosity to an essential feature of most computer systems -- both professional and consumer. Accordingly, leading-edge research in multimedia no longer is confined to dealing with processing or information- access bottlenecks, but addresses the ever-broadening ways in which the technology is changing and improving interpersonal communication, professional practice, entertainment, the arts, education, and community life. This year's program emphasizes this trend: off-the-shelf building blocks are now available to construct useful and appealing applications which are highlighted in the Demonstration and Art venues. In addition to the full complement of panels, courses, and workshops, the conference program features a distinguished set of technical papers. Keynotes will be provided by Glenn Hall, the Technical Director of Aardman Animations whose work includes Wallace and Gromit; and Professor Bill Buxton of the University of Toronto and Alias | Wavefront Inc.

Tate Modern Friday 15 May and Saturday 16 May 2015 12.00–22.00 FREE Starting with a question – If Tate Modern was Musée de la danse? Restaurant – this project proposes a fictional transformation of the art museum 6 via the prism of dance. A major new collaboration between Tate Modern and the Musée de la danse in Rennes, France, directed by Members Room dancer and choreographer Boris Charmatz, this temporary 5 occupation, lasting just 48 hours, extends beyond simply inviting the 20 Dancers discipline of dance into the art museum. Instead it considers how the 4 museum can be transformed by dance altogether as one institution 20 Dancers overlaps with another. By entering the public spaces and galleries of 3 Tate Modern, Musée de la danse dramatises questions about how art might be perceived, displayed and shared from a danced and 20 Dancers expo zéro choreographed perspective. Charmatz likens the scenario to trying on 2 a new pair of glasses with lenses that opens up your perception to River Café forms of found choreography happening everywhere. Entrance 1 Shop Shop Turbine Hall Presentations of Charmatz’s work are interwoven with dance À bras-le-corps 0 to manger 0performances that directly involve viewers. Musée de la danse’s Main regular workshop format, Adrénaline – a dance floor that is open Entrance to everyone – is staged as a temporary nightclub. The Turbine Hall oscillates between dance lesson and performance, set-up and take-down, participation and party.

  • Discovering the Contemporary
    of formalist distance upon which modernists had relied for understanding the world. Critics increasingly pointed to a correspondence between the formal properties of 1960s art and the nature of the radically changing world that sur- rounded them. In fact formalism, the commitment to prior- itizing formal qualities of a work of art over its content, was being transformed in these years into a means of discovering content. Leo Steinberg described Rauschenberg’s work as “flat- bed painting,” one of the lasting critical metaphors invented 1 in response to the art of the immediate post-World War II Discovering the Contemporary period.5 The collisions across the surface of Rosenquist’s painting and the collection of materials on Rauschenberg’s surfaces were being viewed as models for a new form of realism, one that captured the relationships between people and things in the world outside the studio. The lesson that formal analysis could lead back into, rather than away from, content, often with very specific social significance, would be central to the creation and reception of late-twentieth- century art. 1.2 Roy Lichtenstein, Golf Ball, 1962.

  • PRESS RELEASE Art Into Life!
    Contact: Anne Niermann / Sonja Hempel Press and Public Relations Heinrich-Böll-Platz 50667 Cologne Tel + 49 221 221 23491 [email protected] [email protected] PRESS RELEASE Art into Life! Collector Wolfgang Hahn and the 60s June 24 – September 24, 2017 Press conference: Thursday, June 22, 11 a.m., preview starts at 10 a.m. Opening: Friday, June 23, 7 p.m. In the 1960s, the Rhineland was already an important center for a revolutionary occurrence in art: a new generation of artists with international networks rebelled against traditional art. They used everyday life as their source of inspiration and everyday objects as their material. They went out into their urban surroundings, challenging the limits of the art disciplines and collaborating with musicians, writers, filmmakers, and dancers. In touch with the latest trends of this exciting period, the Cologne painting restorer Wolfgang Hahn (1924–1987) began acquiring this new art and created a multifaceted collection of works of Nouveau Réalisme, Fluxus, Happening, Pop Art, and Conceptual Art. Wolfgang Hahn was head of the conservation department at the Wallraf Richartz Museum and the Museum Ludwig. This perspective influenced his view of contemporary art. He realized that the new art from around 1960 was quintessentially processual and performative, and from the very beginning he visited the events of new music, Fluxus events, and Happenings. He initiated works such as Daniel Spoerri’s Hahns Abendmahl (Hahn’s Supper) of 1964, implemented Lawrence Weiner’s concept A SQUARE REMOVAL FROM A RUG IN USE of 1969 in his living room, and not only purchased concepts and scores from artists, but also video works and 16mm films.
