<nettime> Primer Cyborg Festival online |
Today September 11th, one year after the WTC attack and five months since the Venezuelan events of April 11th, we start an Electronic Arts Festival. It is a nice day to something the other way around, instead of senseless deaths, we assume the courtesy to know each others minds. It's not about aesthetics, but transparency, effortless communications, instant touch, Babel undone. We live near Caracas, amid political struggles and intolerance; the event will take place in a common ground, the only landscape available. We have neither specific guidelines for thematic or ideological content of entries, nor do we restrict the areas of these encounters to age group or geographical origin. The First Cyborg Festival initiate its first phase today, based on the intent and the will to stimulate emerging talent working in cyberspace. This event transcends conventional art boundaries, linking people and communities who create encounters that help us understand and enhance our life experiences in the twenty-first century. It will open its doors to creative minds who have made digital technology an essential tool for communal living; it will be a place for diversity and freedom of expression.
