META.MORF 2010
The development and use of new technologies happens at an increasingly
rapid pace, and bio technology, nano technology and new communications-
and computer technologies entails examples of new tools for artists, tools
that can open new worlds of ideas as well as making previously not manageable
ideas realizable.
New scientific insights often implies philosophical and existential problems
and questions. Artistic and scientific research are continuously part of
challenging and changing our perspectives. The artist as a directly and
an indirectly conveyor and interpreter of new knowledge and research, plays
a crucial role for society’s abilty for both having a proper insight,
as well as being able to maintain an adequate discourse, regarding the
use of new technologies and scientific advancements.
Meta.Morf will for a broader audience, present artists, musicians, writers
and researchers with projects and performances that in different ways reflects
humankind’s position and possibilities in our globalized time.
The biennial includes art exhibitions at Trondheim Art Museum, Trøndelag
Centre for Contemporary Art, and Babel Art Space, as well as several conferences,
workshops, film screenings and concerts through out the whole month! TEKS
has for eight years in a row, since 2002, arranged an annual festival for
arts and technology called Trondheim Matchmaking. The festival acted as
an arena for presentations of innovative ideas, music- and art projects,
a place to share and develop technological and artistic competence and
resources. Meta.Morf is the festival’s successor and the new biennial
will continue and further develop the traditions build during the Trondheim
Matchmaking festival series.
