ArtComTec
The first Art/Communication/Technologies seminars organized by Natan Karczmar were held in 1993 and 1994 at the European University of Research at the Ministry of Research in Paris. Contributors were artists and theoreticians involved in art and technology.
In 2007 and 2008, the “ArtComTec” seminars were presented at the Couvent des Récollets in Paris. Several videoconferences were also organized between Montreal and Paris as well as with Israeli cities and Paris at various occasions. Current seminars are mainly happening by videoconference and participants contribute from their living or working places.
In July 2015, Natan Karczmar proposed in partnership with Pilsen2015, the University of Western Bohemia (Faculty of Art and Design-ArtCamp) and Transcultures, a cycle of ArtComTec interventions by several critics and digital artists (Fred Forest, Olga Kisselva, Olivier Auber, Annick Bureaud…).
