CONFERENCE //

ERLEBNIS AND ERFAHRUNG:
"Erlebnis and Erfahrung: Aesthetics of Pervasiveness" was a two day conference organised by the academic network "Digital Art and Culture in the Age of Pervasive Computing".
Lev Manovich (US), N. Katherine Hayles (US), Mark B. N. Hansen (US) and John Johnston (US) were invited as international keynote speakers. The theme of the conference was pervasive computing’s influence on aesthetic experiences in contemporary art and culture.

In collaboration with the conference partners the festival ARCHITRONIC // PEOPLE ENTER SPACE aimed to bridge academic reflection with concrete art experiences and specific case studies presented by Camille Utterback and Mette Ramsgard Thomsen at the conference. The bridge between festival and conference also included the panel discussion "Creation and Experience of Contemporary Installation Art – Panel Polylogue" and several network activities.
