Exhibition (30 November — 1 December 2001):

The (dis)LOCATIONS exhibition involves the presentation of two new interactive installations, commissioned by CINEMEDIA for the newly built Australian Centre for the Moving Image, Federation Square, Melbourne.

Conference:
Presented by the Centre for Interactive Cinema, UNSW COFA, Cinemedia and ZKM -Centre for Art & Media.

With keynote speakers Lev Manovich at Cinemedia and Peter Weibel at ZKM, Germany in discussion via video conference.

The effects of the rapid uptake and convergence of new media technologies are felt and experienced by populations and individuals at the level of virtual and actual senses of dislocation. Fragmentation of 'community', urbanisation and the collapse of locale, the erosion of the private spaces of the sexual and the familial, all have emerged as themes attributable to the restructuring and divergent flows of new information mediascapes. (dis)LOCATIONS will address the relation of new media technologies to emerging and established aesthetics, media forms and their cultural milieus, over an exciting two day conference.
