CeC & CaC 2008: India's Multimedia Carnival
India is preparing for its annual event of nultimedia exhibitions, music performances and various forms of arts-related exchange: CeC & CaC that's the Carnival of e-Creativity & Change-agents Conclave) 2008 will take place February 15th, 16th and 17th „across several venues of India International Centre, in New Delhi, India“. Organised by one of the country's key figure in electronic culture, Shankar Barua, whose CD- and DVD collection ammased through his work in the field „is now regarded in some quarters to be one of the most significant collections of electronic arts in the early twenty-first century“ according to himself, and who has gone from complete computer-newbie to professional musician, designer and writer in about 15 years, CeC & CAC 2008 will be packed with information, gigs and video presentations. The event is supported by the India International Centre and the Academy of Electronic Arts and will, as always, have plenty of fascinating material from India's blurgeoning music scene on offer – such as electronic Sitar performances and talks on the preservation of North Indian music
This year'sCeC & CaC will be rendered especially interesting because of the inclusion of an „Electroacoustic Workshop“ aimed at „artists, musicians, researchers, performers, cademics and technologists“. One day prior to the main event, participants will be briefed on technological issues and try to find answers to questions such as: Can new technologies and practices be compatible with traditional forms? What makes the design of instruments and signal-processing “Culturally Sensitive” and to what extent is this proactively desirable?
