In its programme the quarterly "EIKON - Internationale Zeitschrift für Photographie
und Medienkunst" focuses on Austrian and international media arts with special
emphasis on fine art photography and its significance in the New Media,
i.e. in the intermedial context. The periodical is issued both in magazine
and book form and is subdivided into a presentation part and an informative
part.
The presentation part comprises the artistic as well as theoretical contributions.
Our main concern is to present young media artists and international media
art. None of the subjects receive preferential treatment, i.e. there is
no medial priority (photography and New Media are on an equal standing).
In future, however, EIKON will focus even more on media arts. An essential
aspect of the presentation part is formed by the reflections on photography
and New Media or media arts within the theoretical context of arts, media,
and human sciences. We thus do not only introduce and report on international
work, which is something very important and extremely necessary, but we
also accord media science and its positions the attention it merits. It
goes without saying, that aside from intermedial reflections, the interdisciplinary
and transdisciplinary issues are given the stage in this publication platform,
too. Priority will be given to topical art and media (theoretical) debates.
The EIKON-team is naturally not only intent on reporting on international
art, but also on intensifying the international promotion of Austrian works
of art.
Theme-issues support this program; the following have been published:
- Multimedialität, Intermedialität, Transmedialität (Multi-Mediality,
Inter-Mediality, Trans-Mediality, 4, 1992),
- Photographie und Kinematographie (Photography and Kinematography,
7/8, 1993),
- Photo-Media (9, 1994),
- Frankreich - Österreich (France - Austria, 10/11, 1994),
- Darstellung des Unvorstellbaren. Möglichkeiten und Grenzen künstlerischer
Auseinandersetzung mit Shoah, Nationalsozialismus und Zweitem Weltkrieg
in der zeitgenössischen Photographie (Shoah and Second World War in
contemporary art-photography, 14/15, 1995),
- Collected Photography. Öffentliche und private europäische Photokunstsammlungen
(Collected Photography. Public and private European photo-collections,
18-20, 1996),
- Photographie : adäquat (Photography : adequate, 21/22, 1997).
The informative part of EIKON is subdivided into different themes. Various
institutions and (artistic) groups are introduced in regular series and
in future they will be able to introduce themselves. Furthermore, there
will be the usual comprehensive review part which will increasingly include
new international publications. Emphasis will continue to be put on critique
of exhibitions. So as to guarantee a diversity of opinion, we aim at increasing
the bilateral or multilateral dialogue in the coming issues. This is to
be a constructive contribution to a critique culture in this country which,
as we all know, is distinguished by its absence, mistaking slander for critique.
The informative part is completed by a comprehensive exhibition calendar,
information on the various events, and bibliographical information.
