<div>The 1st issue of Media Art Histories 2013: RENEW proceedings is
OUT NOW:</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>TECHNO-ECOLOGIES II. Acoustic Space, Vol. 12</div>
<div>Edited by Rasa Smite, Armin Medosch and Raitis Smits</div>
<div>ISBN-13: 978-9934843419</div>
<div>312 pages (English edition)</div>
<div><br>
Techno-ecological perspectives have become now one of the key
directions in contemporary discourses and are part of a larger
paradigm shift from new media to post-media art. A range of practices
which were once subsumed under terms such as media art, digital art,
art and technology or art and science, have experienced such growth
and diversification that no single term can work as as a label any
more. Traditionally separated domains are brought together to become
contextual seedbeds for ideas and practices that aim to overcome the
crisis of the present and to invent new avenues for future
developments.<br>
<br>
This is the 2nd volume in the Acoustic Space series that continues to
build a 'techno-ecological' perspective whereby new artistic practices
are discussed that combine ecological, social, scientific and artistic
inquiries. Edited and published in the context of the exhibition
Fields, it makes a perspective its own that sees art as a catalyst for
change and transformations.<br>
</div>
<div>This volume gives various insights into research tactics and
strategies which form the larger context of the FIELDS exhibition
which takes place in Riga, Latvia, The Arsenals Exhibition Hall of the
Latvian National Museum of Art (May 15 - August 3, 2014,
<a href="http://fields.rixc.lv" target="_blank">http://fields.rixc.lv</a>) while the texts included here are mainly
contributions from two earlier conferences - Media Art Histories 2013:
RENEW, the 5th International Conference on the Histories of Media Art,
Science and Technology held in Riga, Latvia, October 8-11, 2013, and
the Art+Communication 2012 festival conference Art of Resilience ,
Riga, Latvia, October 5-6, 2012.</div>
