PRESS RELEASE
THAILAND NEW MEDIA ART FESTIVAL 2004
International Summit on Creativity in Multimedia & Communication
Bangkok, 20-28 March, 2004

The Thailand New Media Art Festival 2004 (Bangkok) is dedicated to the exchange of ideas in art and technology and to bridging the gap between traditional art forms and the New Media Arts. 

"The increasing usage of communication technology in Thailand combined with the unique Thai lifestyle and culture is an excellent environment for exciting Media Art to emerge and fertilize the global art scene," says Francis Wittenberger, Festival Artistic Director.
The Festival exhibition venues include the Srinakarinwirot University Faculty of Fine Arts, The Oddyssee Gallery, The Banrie Café, Media Shaker Siam, Alliance Française of Bangkok, The Goethe Institut Bangkok and The British Council Bangkok.

A matrix of local and international new media artists will convene at the seven venues linked by the Bangkok Sky Train (BTS). Through seminars, symposia, screenings and exhibitions; visiting artists and media professors will attempt to dissolve boundaries that have traditionally existed between the artistic and technological disciplines. In addition, they will encourage Thai artists and help them in developing their New Media work. 

During the festival week, artists will demonstrate the use of emerging technologies to produce net art, software art, digital film and interactive art installations. The Festival's objective is to expose trends in New Media Art by showcasing a variety of international works that may be considered "art which reaches beyond age and language". Furthermore, these displays will be combined with seminars and workshops given by visiting artists and media professors in both a Thai and global context.

The schedule features 15 visiting artists, video art collections and over 100 individual works from over 30 countries. The entire week's events are open to the public and admission is free.

The opening event with the international artists will take place on the 20th of March 2004, 5 PM at The Goethe Institut Bangkok (Sathorn Tai Rd. Soi Goethe). 

The event is Sponsored by Kunstpunkt Berlin (Germany), Lost in Space (UK-Thailand-Japan), Sony Thailand, Bangkok Metro Magazine, Art Connection Bangkok, Panasonic Thailand, Alliance Française Bangkok, Epson Thailand, Fonds BKVB (Holland), IFA (Germany), and The Embassy of Israel in Thailand.
