FUTURESONIC 2009 ART STRAND
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A commission valued at GBP 5000 is available to create a new artwork,
plus Futuresonic can support a limited number of other projects.
Each year Futuresonic's Art strand commissions new artworks and
presents exhibitions on art, technology and social themes, with a
focus on artworks that are participatory, sited in public space, and
in an urban context. Futuresonic is a space to critically explore the
latest upgrade affecting today's digital culture. The festival
features art exhibitions, performances and interventions, including
many world firsts - transforming the city into a space of
experimentation, making it come alive.
2009 is the culmination of the Environment 2.0 project. Within the
festival and throughout the year, Futuresonic will be exploring the
Environment 2.0 theme, the interface between our digital footprint
and our environmental footprint. Through Cracks In The Pavement is an
exhibition featuring artworks that seek to inspire social change, and
local innovations that enhance sustainability. Post-Car Futures is an
exhibition exploring new mobilities from the wheel to wirelessness,
and new ways of travelling and new ways to stay still.
Futuresonic invites submissions of artworks, social innovations or
technological interventions for inclusion in the Futuresonic 2009
festival and on the Environment 2.0 theme.
Submissions deadline -- 5pm, 13 October 2008. *We invite you to
submit expressions of interest to Gala Pujol at
fs2009 at futuresonic.com in advance of the deadline.
