The EYE-KEA Project Research Iniative

The EYE-KEA project is a research initiative aiming to open discussions concerning video art, web 2.0, Throwaway Culture, and the impact of technology on visual and popular culture.
Screening works by established and emerging video artists who are pushing the elements of video art, and opening further discussions through a one-day symposium.
This event has been proposed in order to discuss and define what is currently happening to visual culture in light of technological advances which are changing the way we relate to and interact with culture.

Looking at the implications of remix culture, as represented or researched by video artists who analyse the social and cultural changes brought about by the digital & cultural revolution, through their art practice.

The EYE-KEA project seeks to facilitate an exchange of ideas by bringing together a broad range of artists and researchers with expertise and interest in a wide range of related topics, in order to open debate and discussion.
