The Journal is a collaboration between Pro Helvetia New Delhi and the Visual Arts Gallery, India Habitat Centre with essays by Swiss and Indian leading theorists on New Media.
The India Habitat Centre along with Art India brings together the fifth Annual Arts evening to be held on December 10, 2009 at the Amphitheatre of the IHC. This is also supported by Pro Helvetia- Swiss Arts Council and the Delhi Blue Pottery Trust.
This year the Visual Arts Gallery will unveil a special journal focusing on New Media art co-edited by Dr Alka Pande, Consultant Art Advisor and Curator at the Visual Arts Gallery, India Habitat Centre and media theorist Dr. Nils Roeller, Professor for Media and Cultural Theory at the University of the Arts, Zürich, where he is co-director of the special field of Media Art.
The Journal is a collaboration between Pro Helvetia New Delhi and the Visual Arts Gallery, India Habitat Centre to co-produce the first of its kind journal with essays by Swiss and Indian leading theorists on New Media. The journal explores how in the genre of New Media, technology is being used to express cultural constructs and how it is based on adapting innovative technology as a tool for artistic exploration. It is an attempt to explicate this concept from the different points of view that run across cultures and disciplines.
The publication will carry contributions by Swiss theorists of New Media as well as their Indian peers, including curators, art historians, artists, scholars and writers.
This will be followed by a piano performance titled Hits/Stills by the Swiss artist Claudia Rüegg.
