re-new 2009 presents during May 18-22 in Copenhagen a wide selection of the newest ground-breaking works in digital music, video, installations, performative, and distributed | collaborative art. Such Digital Art is no longer an avantgarde field, but has become an integral part of our present-day Digital Culture, and re-new 2009 focus on the actual, practical, and artistic usages that people make of the latest technological novelties and scientific ponderings.

The re-new digital arts forum sees media technologies as socio-cultural techniques and embrace them in order to comprehend, comment, and contribute to the shaping of contemporary society.

re-new seeks out artistic practices that not only respond to scientific or technical developments, but that try to influence the way in which we experience, understand, and embody these technologies.

Works in all genres and categories in multimedia related art forms where digital technologies are an unseparable part are inside the scope of re-new: those works that challenge or expand the current vocabulary and practice of digital creation, performance, and consumption. Over 30 individual events with nearly 100 artworks, and re-new 2009 hereby becomes an internatonal meeting-point for artists and art consumers.

The main activity of re-new – digital arts forum is the annual re-new Festival/Conference in which the latest digital art from all over the world is presented and discussed, and where its methods are taught. re-new's artistic emphasis makes it unique and in best accordance with the changing ecology of the global creative environment. re-new emphazises global artistic values, which is seen as an inherent aspect of digital arts' democratic scope.
