HIGHLIGHTS
SYNTHETIC TIMES pre exhibition symposium at MoMA
Synthetic Times 2008 will get underway with a two day event at MoMA, Parsons and Eyebeam April 14th and 15th in New York.
SWITCH ON -electronic music events
Organized by Pro Helvetia, the Swiss Arts Council. The project will be situated within the clubbing scenes of Beijing and Shanghai. This deliberate choice of location outside of the institutional context of museums allows the artists to meet a wider audience and for many people, clubs are their first point of contact with media art.
