CYNETart has been showing new trends of cultural developments in the media arts since 1997. The consequences of the prevailing progress of civilisation and the introduction of new information technologies in all fields of social life lead to the disembodiment of perception triggering the examination of a new sensitivity for physical experience and for the perception of ones own body. The international festival focuses on the broaching the issue of this change of the perception of the body by new information technologies.
Herein, the performance of the new technology is less important, it is rather about their cultural potential for mediation. This applies to linkages between existential questions of humankind and how they are perceived. It also applies to the sensual approach to scientific methods of research and the interconnections between the arts.
