Kurzdarstellung

Kurzbeschreibung

Digital Golem is Belgian artist Eric Van Hove's proposal for an international art contest sponsored by UNESCO and the IAMAS aiming to promote digital art as an innovative and artistic reflection of our information society.
It will be presented at the "5th World Forum for Media Art and Culture" in Ogaki, Japan, in March 2004 (UTC - GMT +9 hours).
The proposed project consists of an unrecorded, world-scale, email-based, multi-language chat inspired by and starring Japanese cell phones: the world's leading portable communication device.
This chat will be a textual online exchange, symbolizing a digital human identity (the Golem), created and subsequently destroyed: it would live and die as a conversation does. Four media installations will permit World Forum visitors to "witness" the happening in real time at the Ogaki venue.
