By creating this Observatory it thus acts to:
- Consolidate the efforts
and the already existing activities in our community (CIAM’s Media Watch, the GRAM’s Dictionary of New Media Arts, Media
Watch related to Hexagram’s research axes, the needs for the SAT, the
Center for Research and Documentation of the Fondation Daniel Langlois, etc.).
- Reinforce the synergy of Montreal actors so they can work more together in
an environment that is actually dispersed and segmented.
- Put Montreal on the
map of the international network, which passes through Köln, Karlsruhe,
Linz, London, Helsinki, New York, California, Nagasaki, Tokyo, etc., which
include internationally recognized institutions like Leonardo, Ars Electronica,
ZKM, IAMS, etc., but must also collaborate with institutions from Latin America,
China, Australia.
- Contribute attracting notable talents to Montreal.
- Ensure
a broad and extensive diffusion of the trends, researches, know-how, and products
from an artistic, industrial, and cultural point of view (specialized seminars,
conferences, colloquiums, round table discussions) at a provincial, national
and international level.
