*Sri Lanka*

*Possible areas of enquiry are:*

  * What is the relationship between art and science, and especially
    media theory?
  * What are their possible areas of con-/divergence in the digital world?
  * Is the so-called “third culture” – the fusion of art and science –
    an ideal or reality? How poetic is science today
  * which kinds of work does it produce and in what way do artists
    reflect their own production processes?How scientific is art today?
  * How does contemporary art reveal re-conceptualizations of the self
    and the world that break with traditional media perspectives?
  * Which contemporary forms of self-expression has art generated, and
    how are these mirrored in self art (as for instance in ‘selfies’)?
  * How do the present digital conditions affect the work of art, and
    how are our modes of perception affected?
  * Can – as Walter Benjamin once hoped – our media research on how art
    envisions and embodies the future today contribute to politics and
    activism?
  * How do contemporary artists shape the relationship between reality
    and virtuality, fact and fiction?
  * Which blurred boundaries and new trends can be observed? Can hacking
    be observed as art?
  * Which new genres or programs can be identified?
