New Media and Museums in Eastern Europe

New media art is no stranger to eastern Europe and the Balkans; from the early net.art of Vuc Cosic to the collective work of Apsolutno, these regions were the proving ground for many groundbreaking experiments in media, politics, and art. So the upcoming international symposium on (New) Media Art in Museums this October in Croatia signals that the region's consideration of media art has come full circle from unknown outsiders and agitators to curated collectibles (not too dissimilar to the path traced in other regions or for other "avant-gardes"). The intersection of cultural institutions like museums with new media art continues to confound both artists and curators alike. No standard institutional model has arisen for the collecting of such work, for how to frame it in the overall programs of the museum, nor how to preserve the work.

Indeed, a successful art expo, an analysis

THE interesting thing about the first ever Nigerian Art Expo, which winds up today at the National Museum, Onikan, Lagos, is that it has, again, fulfilled one other important promise of the Joe Musa’s led National Galley of Art aimed at re-positioning the visual art sub-sector to becoming a one stop point for investment and tourism in the country.

Call of Duty: World at War Box Art

GameXtract writes "Activision has recently released the box art of the next Call of Duty game, World at War. Like all others in the past the box art shows off various soldiers shooting aimlessly in every direction, and screaming their lungs out.

Also to note that this game will be following in the same foot steps as Modern Warfare, and will receive the all mighty M rating."

Diablo III Designer Defends New Look and Feel

In response to a fair amount of angry outcry at the new look and feel for Diablo III, designer Jay Wilson has critiqued some fan-altered screenshots and defended the new style. "The key thing to remember here is that this has been Photoshopped. This isn't created by the engine. Though it looks really cool, it's almost impossible to do in a 3D engine because you can't have lighting that smart and run on systems that are reasonable. If we could do that, we probably would in a few of the dungeons."
