CPU: CENTRAL PROCESSSING UNIT

CPU e’ un evento organizzato da ESC a Graz (Austria) dal 4 al 26 ottobre 2008.

In times, when knowledge, awareness and research are increasingly
privatized and therefore controled (commercialized) by multinationals
and other interest groups, the debate around Intellectual Property
also contains another current: people, who don’t aim at earning
billions or political power by patenting knowledge, but who are
willing to keep their way of working, their art and their networks
open and therefore facilitate free access to awareness and information.
In public discussions around aspects of free development and software,
technical and juridical aspects are much more debated than the effects
on developments of the society as a whole. In the frame of CPU, we
want to deal with all possible facets of future perspectives and
developments of our society.

In this field, reflections on the used material and choices on tools
are as important as the media, in which an artistic work is realized.
What relevance does media art have today? Are media artists (also) –
as author Bruno Preisendörfer puts it – "people of no consequences",
at least as individuals? Who only become important in the plural (as
consumers, audience, voters), because they lack money, power and
knowledge? CPU as temporary workspace for 15 people from different
artistic and technological fields challenges this attitude: new media
art works will be shown now in Graz – as installations, workshops,
performances and lectures.
