About 350 artists of over 30 different nationalities are taking part in this 5th edition of the FILE, with solo or collective works in the fields of net art, web art, interactive animation, hypertext, interactive web film, interactive movie, panoramas, VRML, games, software art, generative art, artificial intelligence, robotics, music, performance and installations. This year, the FILE is introducing new sections: 1) FILE Games, with many interactive games; 2) FILE Panoramas, allowing the audience to see interactive and immersive three-dimensional high resolution photographs; and 3) a special section entitled Hyper-cinemactivity, which brings to Brazil the 1st interactive long film, Switching, by the Danish group Oncotype, as well as ten other interactive films of major research labs from Europe and the USA. Interactive Installations In addition to online and offline digital works, this edition of the FILE encompasses nine interactive installations, namely, a retrospective exhibition of award-winning multimedia artist Mark Amerika, including works such as GRAMMATRON and PHON:E:ME; the participation of Canadian artist Bill Vorn with his Prehysterical Machine (a robot with an autonomous nervous system); Ocupação (occupation), an audio-visual installation created by Lali Krotoszinski, a Brazilian performer and dancer. Swiss artist Christian Schoch will be showing a digital miniskirt – a hybrid of fashion and technology where digital images and texts are seen in motion. A model will parade wearing a digital miniskirt called PAUL, built up of 160 pixels with 3840 LEDs altogether. Christian Schoch’s work is a sample of what digital fashion might become in a near future. Homage to Renato Cohen The FILE will also be paying homage to the late artist, professor and researcher Renato Cohen, who died in 2003. (source: press-release FILE, www.file.org.br)
