The lecture will mainly focus on the establishment and development of the Intermedia Department at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts, Budapest, with a raw peripheral view of the changing techno-cultural environment during the last 30 years, between 1989 and 2019. The emergence of Intermedia was the result of the change of regime in Hungary. The curriculum was built around the core concepts of the artistic use of the new media, the unity of theory and practice with a perspective which regards science, technology and art holistically. The main characteristics of intermedia are more related to experiment and experience not to expression. Contemporary artists should think, explore, create, comprehend, act, communicate and for this purpose they may use any accessible tools, any media: old, new, analogue, digital or not-yet-invented. Intermedia intends to provide relevant answers to current actual questions, like: What is the role of the artist after the collapse of the dual world model in the \u201eglobal village\u201d which considers art as a subordinate of the manipulated public attention?<\/p>\n
