ArtCamp is coming up on Saturday, September 8th, 2007!
The aim of ArtCamp07: Re:Use is to bring the open, participatory and
creative energy of BarCamp to the world of art in an interdisciplinary
forum. As an unconference, it¹s about using principles of self-organization
to bring people together, and to create an emergent format where people may
talk, meet, show work, present ideas, receive input, and generally discuss,
view, and advance ideas, research and projects.
The unconference format is borrowed originally from the technology
community, where it was observed that conversations happening outside formal
sessions at traditional conferences were often more enjoyable, productive
and illuminating than the sessions themselves.
ArtCamp06 overturned the New Forms Festival conference in order to undertake
the first ever unconference devoted to the subject of art. The event was
attended by over a hundred artists, designers, programmers, critics,
theorists, curators and practitioners from all fields who presented 30
workshops, talks and hybrid events in a single day. This will be the
second iteration.
We are excited this year to add to this fascinating mix a group of invited
moderators, including:
Andrew Feenberg: Canada Research Chair in Philosophy of Technology, School
of Communication, Simon Fraser University
Lindsay Brown: Writer and Critic
Jesse Scott: Artist and Curator (memelab, CineCitta)
Alissa Firth-Eagland: Director and Curator of Media Arts, Western Front
Patrick Lichty: Artist, Curator, Writer, Editor-in-Chief of Intelligent
Agent Magazine
The event is free and open to the public but space is limited: add your name
to the list of participants so you won¹t miss out.
