Dislocate 07 – Festival for Art, Technology and Locality



Dislocate brings together a group of over 30 
international artists in an exhibition, symposium 
and workshop series in Tokyo and Yokohama. 
Considering the spacial and social dislocation 
which can occur through technology, these artists 
are investigating how new media can be rooted in 
its specific location and form a meaningful 
relationship between ourselves and our 
surroundings.



Dislocate aims to explore the potential new media 
has to increase our awareness of our environment, 
enhance participation in our locality and 
community and transform our perceptions of the 
space we inhabit.



This project presents cutting edge approaches to 
new technology art but with a view to seeing 
beyond the technology itself, examining what lies 
past the screen.  Dislocate prompts us to 
reconsider the alternative uses of the personal 
technologies which surround us, not merely 
offering an escape route from our current 
situation but also a tool to actually confront 
this very location.



With an endless array of spaces available to us, 
we can select our contexts of participation like 
the channels of a television. We may be highly 
active in an online space, engrossed in our 
constructed personal space, but by choice or 
otherwise we may distance ourselves from our 
immediate surroundings. We are presented with the 
freedom of ‘unlimited’ possibilities and yet are 
we making these decisions consciously or are they 
occurring without thought?



Dislocate considers the very integration of new 
media with the environment and this might be 
utilized to consciously reconnect with our 
location, seeking to explore, question and debate 
how can technology be used to heighten our 
engagement with our surroundings instead of 
isolating us from our immediate space.

When numerous places converge in one site, how do 
we navigate such space? How does our interaction 
within a given space formulate identity and how 
can this be communicated effectively to elsewhere?



These are some of the questions which will be 
raised through the Dislocate events.





All events are free
