.x-med-k. is a series of workshops and seminars dealing with the many faces of 'experimental media arts'. Since 2004, three Brussels based art and technology organisations (nadine, Code31/Okno and FoAM) have joined forces to design and implement this heterogeneous series, for artists and designers interested in experimental use of digital media, new materials and technologies.....

.x-med-k. is about sharing the understanding of the diversity and multiplicity of tools and media that can be used creatively, as well as teaching the basics of 'making-your-own' techno-artistic materials and instruments. We cover collaborative issues in the production of art, specifically computer implemented and media related art. We discuss wider economic, environmental, social and political implications of our works. We forge new projects, perform and socialise together, gathering a critical mass of people around topics close to our hearts.

You can participate in .x-med-k. in several ways. You can join us as a workshop participant, or a discussion partner for people presenting on the seminars. You can contribute to our online publication, or participate in public experiments with creating/performing/collaborating remotely. You can come and experience the results of the workshops during open labs, as well as suggest topics and trajectories that you are interested in sharing, teaching or following. There are a few things that are a prerequisite for a .x-med-k. participant: you should be self-motivated, curious and open to new experiments. A little understanding of English language and some digital literacy are a bonus. For the rest, we have welcomed digital and video artists, media performers, architects, creative software and hardware engineers, physicists and biologists, dancers and composers, mathematicians, graphic and textile designers, journalists and puppeteers. If you are interested in any of the above, either as a novice, or as a veteran in experimental media, don't hesitate to contact us: info [at] xmedk [dot] be.
