Austrian artist and curator Evelin Stermitz will introduce the ArtFem.TV project and talk about Video Art, Feminism, and Women Artists. ArtFem.TV is an online television programming presenting art and feminism, founded by Evelin Stermitz in the year 2008. The aim of ArtFem.TV is to foster women’s media works, their art and projects, to create an international online television screen for the images and voices of women. Currently about 400 video and film works are online on ArtFem.TV from around 100 women artist. New media offer new possibilities and chances, but also comprehend old restrictions and patterns. Works in the field of cyberfeminism are a way to subvert the public economic tradition of a male technocratic society and offer views, perspectives and possibilities to use new media with female agendas. Within this context, ArtFem.TV is an attempt to break with a male dominated net-culture and media landscape to highlight women’s emphases in art and media works. www.artfem.tv

    MUSIC TO SEE
S. Steen-Andersen: Run Time Error (video), The History of my instrument (2001) for harp, pick-up and video, with Sunniva R. Wettre (harp)
In History of My Instrument, Simon Steen-Andersen quotes one of the world’s best-known harpist, Carlos Salzedo: '... perhaps Carlos Salzedo said it best in this excerpt from an article published in the January, 1952 issue of Etude Magazine: "Music is meant to be heard, but also to be looked at - otherwise radio would have long ago supplanted the concert stage which, fortunately, it has not" ...' www.simonsteenandersen.dk, www.sunnivawettre.com
 
    Deconstructing IKEA: with and by Amund Sjølie-Sveen, percussion & video
This piece investigates the richness of sounds in an ordinary consumer object  - IKEA plates – or more precisely; the hidden richness in the ordinary object. As the object is gradually destroyed, the sound material becomes richer. The destruction of the physical object is the construction of the sound object. www.amundsveen.no
 
    DISTANT VOICES, STILL LIVES with Duo Torquati-Dillon (IT)
A journey on the thread of memory, a search, a pursuit of a multitude of fugitive voices: voices that tell a story, voices that sing, absent voices, voices only evoked; A game of mirrors and echoes that seeks to transcend the barriers of style and type in order to create a new red thread between sounds which are only apparently distant one from another. In the program, pieces by Lachenmann, Rachmaninov, Hosokawa, Schumann, Liszt, Ablinger, W. Zimmermann, Fauré. www.emanueletorquati.com
