Subtle Technologies Festival – call for submissions #geekgirl

Subtle Technologies Festival :: 2 – 5 June 2011

Toronto :: Call for Submissions :: Deadline 12 December 2010

In 2011 The Subtle Technologies Festival celebrates its 14th year of bringing people together to promote wonder, incite creativity and spark innovation across disciplines. The festival provides a forum to pose and explore questions and inspire work at the intersection of art, science and technology  through symposia, exhibitions, workshops, screenings and performances.  For 2011 the festival will be moving away from a single theme in an attempt to foster new relationships and create new inter-disciplines and a diverse program will be assembled to represent a wide range of subjects and disciplines.  What does the future hold in terms of interdisciplinary work? What approaches can we take to foster inter-cultural exchanges  when it comes to science or technology based work?  How do we make complex  scientific systems more accessible to artists as tools for creating new work? The festival is interested in hearing successful stories from artists and scientists working together – and is equally interested in hearing about some of the issues that prevent disciplines from having stronger collaborations.

Bike Fest website:
http://www.melbournebikefest.com.au/

See bicycle parts, frames and components transformed from their typical functionalities into works of art. The Circular Bike comprises donated bicycles from Monash University’s Uni-Cycle bike share scheme. The bikes have been deconstructed from their singular bike form and reassembled to create a single, circular structure that can be ridden and enjoyed by many.

Contrasting the traditional chandelier with the functional form of the bicycle wheel, the Bicycle Chandelier merges the mechanical with the decorative to create a suspended work of art. Created using lights, wheels and aluminium rims donated by Velocity Wheels.

epi-thet AT MELBOURNE INTERNATIONAL ARTS FESTIVAL #mixedmedia #geekgirl

EXPERIMENTA PRESENTS

epi-thet, by Melbourne artists Madeline Flynn, Tim Humphrey and Jesse Stevens, is a mixed media sound installation activated by the audience.  epi-thet uses data from public domain genetic databases to create sound and image. Using an algorithm that maps data from the genetic process to sound parameters, and information drawn simply from posture, a composition unique to  each individual participant is created.

Within the cavernous space of the Meat Market, three microscopes sit on platforms waiting for the audience to bring them to life. Hidden within each microscope is a tiny animation, an enticing assembly of images and words that we use to describe ourselves and each other. By approaching the platforms, audience members activate their own captivating sound and light experience that is created from the viewer’s height and posture. Just as our genetic makeup determines what makes us individual, how we move as individuals affects how we experience the intriguing work epi-thet.

Inspired by an ANAT Synapse Residency with Dr Shane Grey at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Sydney, musicians and composers Madeleine Flynn and Tim Humphrey have been working since 2008 on the sonification of research data, making it possible to hear as well as see a representation of the genetic process.

Experimenta is pleased to present this project as part of the
Melbourne International Arts Festival

Arts House, Meat Market
5 Blackwood Street
North Melbourne, 3051
until Saturday 23 October, 2010
1pm – 9pm. FREE!
