Abstract
- Šiame straipsnyje analizuojama medijų išplitimo ir kultūrinės globalizacijos įtaka bendrų (aktualių daugeliui pasaulio kūrėjų) visuomeninių temų aktualizavimuisi Lietuvos, Latvijos ir Estijos mene. Tekste detaliai analizuojami Mare Trallos, Mindaugo Gapševičiaus, Nomedos ir Gedimino Urbonų, Kęstučio Andrašiūno, Ando Keskkūlos, Kiwos, Rasos ir Raičio Šmitų, Janio Garančso, Arvido Alksnio darbai, iš kitų menininkų kūrybos išsiskiriantys angažuotumu užmegzti dialogą su visuomene ir aktyviai dalyvauti konstruojant kritinį socialinį diskursą bei „persiorientavimu" iš kultūrinio, socialinio turinio kūrimo į meno procesų ir kultūrinio, socialinio konteksto formavimą. Teigiama, kad šių autorių darbuose dialogas tampa autorine strategija ir esminiu kūrinio elementu. Analizuojamuose darbuose atsispindi tarpdisciplininis požiūris į meną, siekis sujungti meno, politikos, socialines sferas, taip pat kritinis refleksyvumas. The expansion of new media and cultural globalisation influenced media art in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. The social themes shared by many authors worldwide and cyber culture questions emerge. This prompted authors to study local societies and changes in them and examine their own cultural environment. The media art of the Baltic countries became an important producer of public discourse and this role is naturally connected with the origins of media art, its communication qualities and connections with information industries. This article examines work by Mare Tralla, Mindaugas Gapševičius, Nomeda and Gediminas Urbonas, Kęstutis Andrašiūnas, Ando Keskkūla, Kiwa, Rasa and Raitis Šmit, Janis Garančs and Arvids Alksnis, whose work stand out from the rest. The work by these artists strives to engage society in a dialogue and actively participate in the creation of critical discourse. There is also an observed shift from creating cultural, social subject to the forming of cultural, social context. In the work of these artists the dialogue becomes the main strategy and key element. The examined work reflects an interdisciplinary point of view, and strives to connect art, politics, social spheres and critical thinking. In the end of 20"" c. - 21" c. mass media and interactive technologies became important originators of social relations and identity in the three Baltic states. Electronic existence of humans nearly erased the boundaries between public and private space and the real and invented identity. This and many other questions, like the change in Soviet group identity and the importance of gender identity are discussed in this article.
