MAPTV 2014 - Special Session on Mediadrom: artful post-TV scenarios

Current research groups and projects aim at defin?ing the future of the TV, tak?ing into con?sid?er?a?tion the wide spread?ing use of the sec?ond screen, and behav?ioral and social inter?ac?tion inher?ited from highly inter?ac?tive video games merg?ing with on-demand video ser?vices, and com?plex sto?ry?telling tech?nolo?gies out of which cre?ative trains of thoughts emerge. New media artists bring mean?ing to tech?nolo?gies by adapt?ing or repur?pos?ing these, by own?ing glitches, and by instill?ing into their art?works cues of social and polit?i?cal issues of the cur?rent, past and future days.
The pur?pose of this MMM 2014 spe?cial ses?sion is to push the con?verg?ing bound?aries of inter?net and TV tech?nolo?gies beyond liv?ing rooms. Cre?ative artists are invited to chal?lenge the tech?nolo?gies deliv?ered from the LinkedTV project by imag?in?ing sce?nar?ios of inter?ac?tive instal?la?tions and per?for?mances, with rich media con?tent navigation/recomposition, query?ing the Inter?net for unex?pected connexions.
