Parasite and Omnivisu were shown at the International Festival of Animated Film in the category Animated Film Conquers Public. »Animated film is no longer confined to cinema or television and is in the process of conquering public space. Each of these new “media” has its own individual set-up which requires different projection techniques and methods of use; guaranteeing more or less attention from the audience.« Festival

Public-Electronic is an exhibition about electronic art in public space. The exhibition presents documentation material, video, text, images and sound, of eight artworks, both realized installations and projects that are still on the drawing board. New technology has become a integrated part of contemporary art. In the same manner electronic art has also moved out into the public space. Here the art is competing with advertisements to catch our attention, in a space where the media noise is constantly getting higher. The exhibitions aim is to show that creative work with new technology also can be used outdoors, in public space and not only in art galleries and exhibition halls.
