Visions of the Now, an international festival and congress on the subjects of art and technology, will take place at Fylkingen in Stockholm on May 24–26, 2013.

New values are being created as a consequence of the rapid pace of technological progress. Through the filters of art, technology and the future, we will investigate where the “now” is situated, while focusing on the impact of technology on humanity, society and artistic practice.

This occasion brings together a group of international artists, musicians, theorists and scientists to perform real-time research on the now, in lectures, panels and open discussions under the themes of Technology, Values, Image, Music, Langage and Environment. The festival will also manifest the interplay between art and technology—at this exact moment in time—with art and music performances, sound pieces, installations and screenings.

Visions of the Now is a reconsideration of the 1966 festival and congress Visioner av Nuet, initially titled the 'Stockholm Festival for Art and Technlolgy,' which was initiated by Fylkingen and held at Tekniska Museet in Stockholm. This updated version takes place nearly half a century later, in a world that is fully immersed in the technology that in 1966 was still called 'the new.' What lies in the ‘and’ of art and technology now? Who is occupied with technology and its role in society? Which values do we want to maintain, and which ones should we challenge? Which of the gathering clouds are friendly and fluffy, and which are dark and menacing? It is time to explore these questions, transposed into 2013, to see what happens. Could these two precise moments in time, superimposed, help us better detect the present, and generate new visions for the future?

Visions of the Now is initiated and organized by artist Anna Lundh. With support from The Swedish Arts Grants Committee, City of Stockholm, Statens Musikverk and Fylkingen.

Anna Lundh is a Swedish artist, based in Stockholm and New York. Lundh's work investigates cultural phenomena and social agreements, time, language and technology, and takes the form of video, installations, web-based projects, text and performance. www.annalundh.com

> George Maciunas, founder and central coordinator of Fluxus, was an exemplary processor of knowledge. Educated in architecture, painting, art history, graphic design, and musicology, Maciunas's oeuvre demonstrates incredible diversity. Yet, his multifaceted output is unified by a diagrammatic aesthetic-one that illustrates his analytic mind and sheer meticulousness.
> 
> The copyright documents featured in this exhibition are a testament to Maciunas's scrupulousness. After establishing the Fluxus Headquarters in New York, Maciunas sought copyright protection for Fluxus and its artists to safeguard the group's interests. He painstakingly registered claims to copyright for every Fluxus work starting in 1963, including George Brecht's Fluxkit Water Yam (1964), Yoko Ono's Four (Fluxfilm no. 16) (1966), Albert M. Fine's Piece For Fluxorchestra (1966), Chieko Shiomi's Spatial Poem No. 2 (1966), Maciunas's very own Prefabricated Building System (1965), and much, much more.
