Introduction
Our media-saturated culture
continuously assaults us with a constant stream of messages
presented as news, information, advertising, and entertainment-messages
inherently manipulated by the nature of their medium. We are
too often forced to read messages quickly and without critical
thinking; it is becoming increasingly difficult to discern meaning
through the hyperbole of medium.
This festival aims to recontextualize
media and establish an active relationship between us and our
environment. The presented works use a variety of media to engage
all the senses. Meaning threads through the integration and
interaction of the works. We look to illuminate contemporary
processes of communication and help viewers interpret messages
consciously rather than subconsciously.
We invite you for an afternoon
of performances engaging various media to explore and create
multisensory experiences. The show will actively investigate
human perceptive modalities en face various channels of communication.
Over 30 artists will be
performing and presenting works on the cutting edge of art and
technology.
