Migrating Art Academies are migrating to LinzMigrating Art Academies (MigAA) – a joint educative project of German, French and Lithuanian higher education institutions, which is flying across the European Capitals of Culture, is going to visit Linz.

Art students participating in MigAA travel in campers following the nomadic lifestyle of Jack Kerouac and create works of art. In Linz the project participants will settle in the premises of the famous Ars Electronica media art and science festival centre. During 4 days of the festival, on 4-7 September, the objects of art created “on the road” and other thematic projects will be introduced.
Migrating Art Academies is focused on education and future positioning of knowledge. This migrating project is about openness and future merger of different disciplines and the European education institutions will no longer be of closed-type“, - says Hubertus von Amelunxen, MigAA manager, one of the most outstanding modern philosophers of photography and Rector of the European School of Visual Arts.
Sequence is another creative journey of MigAA during which the projects launched during the first travel to Vilnius are continued and experiences accumulated. Each day of the festival will introduce non-traditional attitudes towards new forms of education. On Friday the project of One thousand Leaves will be demonstrated, which is a prototype of a virtual art academy in the internet space on the Secondlife platform. All interested people will be able to participate in this experimental zone contributing to the development of the works of art.
The purpose of Saturday’s creative workshops GPS and Satellite Watching will be to get familiarised with tolls and techniques designated for watching GPS technology and dislocation of satellites in the sky. The participants of this project will be invited to engage in romantic activities and at the same time to get a closer view of one of the technological achievements of globalisation – satellites used for the location of objects on the earth.
The Sunday’s project Lanscape will introduce technology visualising wireless internet networks which are not visible with a naked eye. For the first time the drawings of such type have been introduced during the journey to Vilnius. The interactive projects Binaural Soundscape Browsing, aimed at introducing the possibilities of the double-channel sound modification functionalities will be demonstrated on Monday. This project will cover the analysis of the relationship between the man’s movement in the space and the sound.
Presentations of the main projects will be followed by reviews of films of higher education institutions and introduction of interactive sound projects and works dedicated for the Human Nature theme of Ars Electronica of this year. The entire programme demonstrated during Sequence – the second journey of MigAA – will be directly broadcasted on the project’s internet website: www.migaa.eu.
