keynote Edmond Couchot: Towards the Autonomous Image

16:30h / 9:30 am - opening plenary - MediaArtHistories: Times & 
Landscapes 1
(Chairs: Oliver Grau and Gunalan Nadarajan )
After photography, film, video, and the little known media art history 
of the 1960s-80s, today media artists are active in a wide range of 
digital
areas (including interactive, genetic, telematic and nanoart). Media Art

History offers a basis for attempting an evolutionary history of the
audiovisual media, from the Laterna Magica to the Panorama, 
Phantasmagoria, Film, and the Virtual Art of recent decades. This panel 
tries to clarify, if and how varieties of Media Art have been splitting 
up during the last decades. It examines also how far back Media Art 
reaches as a historical category within the history of Art, Science and 
Technology. This session will offer a first overview about the visible 
influence of media art on all fields of art.
Speakers:  Gunalan Nadarajan, Luise Poissant, Oliver Grau, Mario
