Call For Entries - CIMATICS 09 FESTIVAL - New Cities
18/06/2009CALL FOR ENTRIES - CIMATICS 09 FESTIVAL - NEW CITIES
Deadline: July 31, 2009
Cimatics - Brussels International Festival for Live Audiovisual Art & VJing - is an audiovisual festival that is closely connected to contemporary digital and urban practice. The 7th festival edition will again bring an extensive overview of what's currently taking place at the crossroads of media, art, music and technology. This edition of Cimatics festival aims at encouraging all projects that explicitly focus on the relation of urban and digital culture. Cimatics invites all artists, creatives and producers to send their submissions for the next Cimatics festival.
The festival theme is 'New Cities'. This theme is not a statement but utters the question of how to approach digital and urban culture not as 2 separate layers, but as a single given.
The festival is an ongoing experiment with 'format'. What was initially a festival for VJing and soon after for Live Audiovisual Art has now become an ongoing curatorial experiment. With the extended scope on not only the selection of works of art around a specific theme, but with at least as much attention for the compositorial and conceptual aspects of the event as such, we aim at creating a Happening.
Cimatics festival 09 as Happing with this specific approach of 'the digital and the urban' as a central theme, will try to incorporate its survey into all aspects of the 'exhibition' as an audiovisual event exposing digital culture by attaching to the urban infrastructure, exposing urban culture by attaching to the digital infrastructure: transport, communication, marketing, accommodation, design, catering, economy, ecology...
These ideas are greatly inspired by the work of Nicolas Bourriaud (Relational Aesthetics) and Lev Manovich' latest book 'Software Culture'. The first states that 'the urban' has been penetrating all aspects of contemporary society (and especially art), while the latter gives 'software' the same authority.
