The festival will take place between 12 and 17 February 2020.
The fourth instalment of the festival is themed “digitalisation” and will be a meditation of artistic views on the modern age and the ubiquitous presence of the internet, digital technologies and their seamless integration into modern life.
It is intended to facilitate a dialogue on a more sustainable future within the age of the digital revolution.
The artworks must be:
- Explorative as they explore and integrate in unusual spaces, create accidental encounters and pose small art gestures
- Visible and public-friendly
- Collaborative in how they foster dialogue within the community, public discussion and positive development
- Interdisciplinary by, ideally, incorporating digital and multimedia forms – from murals to projection, virtual reality experiences
Applications have to include:
- Name, country of origin, phone number, email
- A biography and visual portfolio of your work (a minimum of five pictures). Bio to include: Personal background, experience and previous achievements, your motivation to participate
- Profile picture
- Sketch for proposed work
- Copy of ID/passport
- Social media links/website
