Muzej-Museo Lapidarium

Novigrad-Cittanova, Hrvatska/Croatia

29  kolovoz / agosto / august  -  1  rujan / settembre / september 2008

International meeting of media artists: symposia, workshops, presentations, screenings, exhibitions

The teme of this year’s Mediascape is titled “Beyond Horizon”. While the city or the urban area is regarded as the area of development, fast progress, and in addition the absent-minded, superficial and disconcentrated perception, the area of the “landscape” is in contrast the place of peace, collection and leisure. In the countryside outside the city the perception of space and time win other values.

The landscape encourages for curving: the view, the hearing, the smell and the thoughts win perspective, which the area of the landscape opens. This leads also to a slowing down and a sensory perception, to a concentration, which is another as those of the city.

The area outside of the city or outside of the life sphere of humans generally is not characterized by civilization, but by natural conditions: Apparently ordinary: the brook, the tree, the meadow appear in new light, the murmuring water, the noise of the wind kidnap urban humans into another reality. In the countryside there is still a horizon. Here prevails a liberty of view over the restricted city view. The city has structure, pictogram forests, a silhouette perhaps, but no horizon. In the landscape however the horizon is always there and lures into the distance. The horizon is everywhere, has 360° and more.

Novigrad is a town, but circled by an immense countryside and great perspectives of the Adriatic Sea.
