媒体艺术21工作团队在此荣幸地宣布：“媒体艺术21——2000年以来全球媒体艺术实践与反思，及其教学探索”项目的第二期内容于今日正式对公众开放。

ZKM｜卡尔斯鲁厄艺术与媒体中心拓展媒体艺术21：为线上平台引入新声音

通过一系列由知名作者撰写的委邀文章，以及一个线上展览项目，中英双语线上平台“媒体艺术21——2000年以来全球媒体艺术实践与反思，及其教学探索”（媒体艺术21，简称MA21）进一步强化其作为一个独特虚拟空间，展开批判性话语交流的地位。该平台汇集全球范围内对于媒体艺术的讨论，对其进行语境化建构，并使之转化为可用于实践与教学的资源。

回应当下议题与理论阐释

MA21是由中央美术学院科技艺术研究院与ZKM｜卡尔斯鲁厄艺术与媒体中心联合主办，并由ZKM主持运营的研究与展览线上平台。在和的慈善基金会与新媒体艺术基金会的支持下，平台于今年春季推出新一轮内容更新。由联合艺术总监阿利斯泰尔·哈德森（Alistair Hudson，ZKM｜卡尔斯鲁厄艺术与媒体中心）、鲁道夫·弗里林（Rudolf Frieling）以及张尕（Zhang Ga，中央美术学院）委邀的这一组新论文，进一步拓展了当代艺术中以“后人类”（Posthuman）“生态”（Ecologies）与“共同体”（The Commons）为核心议题的交汇处。16篇新文章将视野拓展至更多地理区域，其中，奥朗达·斯卡拉拉（Auronda Scalera）与阿尔弗雷多·克拉梅罗迪（Alfredo Cramerotti）的文章探讨了来自海湾地区、黎凡特与北非的艺术家如何通过各自独特的媒体艺术实践，重新定义技术、文化与身份之间的关系；建筑师、作家与教育者保罗·塔瓦雷斯（Paulo Tavares）的文章借鉴了人类学家威廉·巴雷（William Balée）关于亚马逊人工森林（anthropogenic forests）的研究；而艺术史学家、作家、批评家与策展人卡罗琳·A.琼斯（Caroline A. Jones）则将生物艺术的媒介置于更为广阔的历史语境之中加以考察。

与非营利当代艺术机构KADIST合作完成的线上展览“我们，在地者”（We, Earthbound）借鉴了布鲁诺·拉图尔（Bruno Latour）提出的“在地者”概念，将其作为人类的一种当代界定。该展览由来自KADIST的玛丽安娜·费尔南德斯（Mariana Fernández）与约瑟夫·德尔·佩斯科（Joseph del Pesco）共同策划，汇集了来自MA21数据库与KADIST收藏的影像、声音、行为以及研究型作品。这些作品关注那些在人类中心主义思维框架中被广泛忽视的生命形态，并将声音、振动、运动作为与非人类能动性以及行星系统进行互动的方式。作为展览的延伸，一个专门的影像与视频项目也已在KADIST.tv上提供在线放映。

此外，通过一个全球顾问网络，平台现有的教育形式也得到了进一步拓展。与此同时，媒体艺术21专题研讨会的录像现已上线。该研讨会于2025年香港巴塞尔艺术展期间在香港艺术中心（Hong Kong Arts Centre）举办，围绕21世纪艺术教育的需求展开讨论。

媒体艺术21：一个媒体艺术的教育资源

媒体艺术是全球当代艺术实践中一个重要且不断演变的组成部分。随着其在国际展览中的出现日益频繁，对其进行批判性与学术性反思的需求也随之增长，同时，这一领域在艺术教育中的整合也变得愈发必要。在此背景下，MA21致力于汇集并梳理围绕媒体艺术实践中最重要、最紧迫的全球性议题，并使其可被研究与教学所获取与使用。艺术家、策展人、学者与学生可以便捷地获取2000年以来的原始资料，旨在支持对媒体艺术作品的批判性阐释与语境建构。除了有关个体实践与作品的事实、背景信息与数据之外，平台还提供包括在线讲座、访谈与圆桌讨论在内的多种教育模式。

多维度的视角

MA21并不试图建立单一叙事，而是强调多元的声音，汇集不同的话语，并推动一种更具跨国性以及全球性的视角。平台内容围绕三个主题领域展开：“生态”探讨物质性、技术、文化历史与批判性实践之间的相互作用；“后人类”关注在后人类主义语境中，创造性实践的能动性、美学及其不断演变的角色；“共同体”则聚焦于21世纪围绕共享资源所展开的集体性与协作性叙事。

The Media Art 21 work team is pleased to announce the public release of the second phase of the project Media Art 21: Practices, Reflections and Pedagogies of Global Media Art Since 2000.

ZKM Expands Media Art 21: New Voices on the Online Platform

Through a series of new texts by renowned authors and an international exhibition, the bilingual English-Chinese online editorial platform Media Art 21: Practices, Reflections, and Pedagogies of Global Media Art Since 2000 (MA21) is consolidating its position as a unique virtual space for critical discourse. The platform brings together global conversations about media art, contextualizes them, and makes them accessible for practice and education.

Contributions Address Current Questions and Discourses

MA21, the research and exhibition online platform hosted by ZKM and co-organized by Institute of Sci-Tech Arts of Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA, Beijing) and ZKM, launches a new round of content this spring, supported by HE Foundation and New Media Arts Foundation. Commissioned by artistic directors Alistair Hudson (ZKM), Rudolf Frieling, and Zhang Ga (CAFA), the new texts further expand themes at the intersection of the Posthuman, Ecologies, and the Commons as central discourses within contemporary art. 16 new contributions broaden the horizon to other geographies and include among others a text by Auronda Scalera and Alfredo Cramerotti examining how artists from the Gulf region, the Levant, and North Africa are redefining the relationship between technology, culture, and identity through their distinctive media art practices. Architect, author, and educator Paulo Tavares draws on anthropologist William Balée's research into the anthropogenic forests of the Amazon, while art historian, author, critic, and curator Caroline A. Jones places the media of bioart within a broader historical context.

Developed in collaboration with KADIST, the nonprofit organization for contemporary art, the exhibition We, Earthbound draws on Bruno Latour's concept of the Terrestrial as a contemporary designation for humanity. Curated by Mariana Fernández with Joseph del Pesco (KADIST), the exhibition brings together works across video, sound, performance, and research-based practices from both the MA21 index and the KADIST collection. The works attend to forms of life that remain largely invisible within human-centered frameworks of thought, foregrounding sound, vibration, and movement as modalities for engaging with nonhuman agencies and planetary systems. Extending the exhibition, a dedicated film and video program is available to stream on KADIST.tv.

In addition, the existing range of educational formats has been expanded through a global network of advisors, and video recordings from the Media Art 21 Symposium are now available. The symposium took place in 2025 during Art Basel at the Hong Kong Arts Centre and addressed the demands for a pedagogy for the 21st century.

Media Art 21: An Educational Resource for Media Art

Media art is an essential and continually evolving component of global contemporary art practice. As its presence in international exhibitions grows, so too does the need for critical and scholarly reflection, as well as for greater integration of this field into art education. Against this backdrop, MA21 aims to capture the worldwide discourses around the most significant and pressing currents in media art practice and make them accessible for research and teaching. Artists, curators, scholars, and students can find low-threshold access to original materials created from the year 2000 onwards, serving the critique and contextualization of media artworks. Alongside facts, background information, and data on individual positions and works, the platform offers educational formats including streaming lectures, interviews, and panel discussions.

A Question of Perspective

MA21 does not seek to advance a single narrative. Instead, it honors a multiplicity of voices and brings together diverse discourses, shifting to a more transnational and global perspective. Content is organized around three thematic areas: Ecologies explores the interplay of materiality, technology, cultural histories, and critical practices; Posthuman investigates the agency, aesthetics, and evolving role of creative practice within a posthumanist field; and The Commons centers on the collective and cooperative narratives directed toward shared resources in the 21st century.
