English:OKNO (Q173584)

Okno supports artists that research, develop and create innovative forms of cultural production in the field of technology and media arts; and presents the processes and results of this research to a broad and diverse audience through a program of interactive installations, experimental concerts, performances, workshops and lectures.

Okno tends to be a physical and online meeting place for established and young artists, a platform for the development of collaborations and partnerships. The collaborative building of knowledge and its transmission is at the core of all projects. They all focus on employing and deriving today's and future's technologies in a new and surprising way. The connection between art and science, between analog and digital media is explored in a continuous way.

Okno wants to encourage and initiate the participation of an artistically engaged audience, facilitating a dialogue with current forms of artistic practice. Therefore, we offer a virtual and physical public forum for artistic reflection on technological inspired media arts, and we promote a critical view on the cultural and aesthetic influences of media technologies.

Okno positions itself as a junction in an international research-and presentation network for new media art. With national and international partners we work towards the presentation of international projects through connected online collaboration tools as live streaming and other digital media techniques.
