The ARCHIVE OF DIGITAL ART (ADA) releases documentation on CHRISTOPHER
SALTER 
 
Chris Salter is Concordia University Research Chair in New Media,
Technology and the Senses, Co-Director of the Hexagram network, Director
of the Hexagram Concordia Centre for Research and Creation in Media Art
and Technology and Associate Professor for Computation Arts in the
Department of Design and Computation Art at Concordia University,
Montreal. 
 
His numerous articles and books (Alien Agency, 2015; Entangled, 2010,
MIT Press) reflect on his artistic development between research in the
humanities, multi-sensory engineering and collaborative practice in the
fields of digital art and theatre. By combining digital sound and
animation with questions of materiality and performance in his
experimental art installations and projects, Salter critically and
aesthetically reflects on discourses in literature, psychology,
performativity, sensory experience, cultural theory and philosophy. His
projects were exhibited all over the world at e.g. National Art Museum
of China, Venice Architecture Biennale, Elektra Festival, Ars
Electronica, Transmediale.
 
QUOTES
Roberto SIMANOWSKI (City University, Hong Kong) on “TGARDEN”: “[Salter]
calls the goal of his work a kind of reflected immersion, where the
audience participates as both collaborator and critic […].”
 
Sarah BAY-CHENG (Bowdoin College, Maine): Chris Salter’s extensively
researched and compellingly argued Entangled: Technology and the
Transformation of Performance (2010) is the most wide-ranging survey of
digital performance practices since Steve Dixon’s Digital Performance.
MediaArtResearch KEYWORDS: Architecture, Environment, Senses,
Performative, Poly-sensory, Body, Theatre, Dance, Light, Movement.

SALTER on ADA 
The ongoing documentation of Chris Salter’s work on ADA goes back to
early interactive installations with Sponge in 1996 to his recent works
in 2016. Videos, images, information on technology and a bibliography of
his inspirations from science and philosophy can be found among the data
on the respective artwork profiles as well as a general bibliography
with Salter’s publications and all the authors mentioned on the artist
profile. 
The ADA documentation also sheds light on the conceptualisation of an
artwork. Several installation plans and exhibition views can demonstrate
along with the technical data not only the final project, but the
development process as well. A blog on blogspot.co.at (now part of
Google’s blogger.com), initiated by Sha Xin Wei for the “Membrane”
installation at V2, was archived by the ADA team for future analysis.
The international team of artists and scholars used the blog to share
and discuss a few results in the development of the art project. Parts
of the conceptualisation and execution of the artwork can be traced when
reading the blog entries and commentaries such as the development of a
first 3D model made of cartonage to illustrate the visual and sculptural
design of the responsive screen and the display of live video feed
software for the final installation. See Chris Salter’s Profile on ADA:

ADA: THOUSANDS OF ARTWORKS
Since its foundation in 1999, the ARCHIVE OF DIGITAL ART (former
Database of Virtual Art) has grown to be the most important online
archive for digital art. In cooperation with established media artists,
researchers and institutions it has been documenting the rapidly
evolving world of digital art and its related fields for more than a
decade and contains today a selection of thousands of artworks at the
intersection of art, science and technology.  ARTISTS and SCHOLARS are
invited to join the community and set up their own archive pages.
 
EXPANDED DOCUMENTATION FOR THE NEEDS OF DIGITAL ART
Due to the processual, ephemeral, interactive, technology-based and
fundamentally context-dependent character of digital art, it is at risk
for becoming extinct without an adequate documentation. Therefore, the
ADA is based on an expanded concept of documentation, which takes
account of the specific conditions of digital art.
