Minutes (Protokoll) for 2nd Meeting and
Roundtable for BerlinNew Media Spaces and Curators
 
On Monday 24 September the 2nd meeting took place at Art Laboratory Berlin at 7PM
 
Among the attendees were Christian de Lutz
(Art Laboratory Berlin), Erika Šiekštelytė (Panke e.V.), Gaia, Bartolini (Liebich 12),
Desiree Foerster (free curator), Susanne Jaschko (free curator- Prozessagenten),
Stefan Hoeppe, (free curator), Tatiana Bazzichelli (transmediale /reSource) ,
Daniela Silvestrin (transmediale), Georgia Nicolau (transmediale /reSource) and
3-4other guests.
 
1. The main topic of conversation was how
to build  a network of  Berlinspaces
dedicated to technology based arts (new media*).
*The term ‘new
media’ was questioned by some participants as it doesn’t fit the diversity of
emerging forms (e.g. bio arts, environmental art, etc) “technology based art”
seemed to fit as a temporary fill in . (Also suggested: “21st century arts”)
 
2. Possible goals of such a network include
raising the profile of “technology based arts” in the large Berlinart world.
This will help individual spaces receive more attention and gain more funding.
Also regular meetings will increase exchange of ideas and information between
spaces and give life to possible synergies for common projects, rhizomatic
exhibition structures or multi-space interactive events.
 
3. One result could be acommon platform (such as a website) to inform the public of events in “technology based arts”
happening in Berlin. This site could also be linked to a common QR/ barcode image, that
could be displayed at venues and across the city with a link to the web
platform.
 
Also the idea of a series of ‘modds,’ one
in each space, was put forward. Visitors could ‘carry’ a memory stick from
space to space with updated information, thus creating an  artwork common between spaces which also
functions as an information portal (QR code and Modd were the ideas of
Erika/Panke e.V.) 
 
4. It was decided that to agree on a
platform and set of goals, more spaces need to be involved (a minimum of 8 or 9
– three were present at the meeting). 

An open call for spaces to take part will
take place via the reSource mailing list, as well as a mailed invitation. 
The reSource mailing-list will be used for
further coordination of the project’s members, towards the creation of an
independent common platform.
 
5.A date for the 3rd meeting
was set: Thursday 1 November at 6.30 PMat Liebig
12. Further info on topics and general ideas will follow on the reSource
mailing list.
