There's an entire generation of established artists and up-and-coming talent who have been inspired by and influenced by video games; a wealth of grass root musicians and music makers “who are dedicated to the appreciation and reinterpretation of video game music“ (VGM) - through numerous online communities; a vibrant scene of 8-bit music makers or ‘chip tuners’ who use the same sound chips as the original games consoles; various digital artist groups whose work explores alternative gaming experiences and the boundaries between gaming and art; and short film-makers and animators from around the world that draw from and are inspired by video game culture. We want to help the London Games Festival Fringe realise its aim to “explore VG culture in its many manifestations and its relations with other art and media forms“ by tapping into and presenting highlights from this rich and diverse seam of creative work. The line-up will see live performances and DJ/VJ sets from: Ben Osborne v Overlap, The Lost Levels, The Sancho Plan, Vector Lovers and the ZX Spectrum Orchestra and from 8-bit music makers and labels gwEm vs Counter Reset and Jellica (Kittenrock); multi-player gaming experiences from Handheld and interactive works from digital artist groups such as Boredbrand, igloo and Fijuu and Nipplecat; as well as a Future Shorts specifically curated programme of innovative short films and animations from around the world. |

SOUNDWAVES: Sonic Art Exhibition Kinetica Museum, Old Spitalfields Market, London E1 6AA CALL FOR EXISTING WORKS - NOW CLOSED As part of Cybersonica 07, we will be collaborating with Kinetica Museum and soundtoys.net
We are now accepting submissions of existing sonic art works from artists wishing to exhibit and present at this year’s festival. We are looking for works that explore new forms of interactivity - moving away from the keyboard, mouse and screen and into the physical realm - responding to physical input, proximity, sound, kinetics, elapsed time and/or the surrounding environment. These works may be interactive installations, new electronic musical devices, physical audiovisualisers, tangible musical interfaces, modified game engines (for example). We are particularly keen to feature work that engages the audience in rich and meaningful ways – that is characterised by its artful creativity and degree to which it emotional connects with the viewer – and which is playful, appealing and accessible to all. Deadline: Friday, 13th April 2007 Notification: Friday, 20th April 2007 Details, entry forms and terms: Download HERE (Word document) |
