OPEN SOURCE will showcase time-based media and live events that engage with mainstream and online cultures, highlighting art as a collaborative process.
Throughout the weekend, the festival will present films, live performances and installations, including twenty-four works that will be shown for the first time.
There will be an immersive video installation; experimental party music; a hip-hop concert; twitter broadcasts; films dealing with the neuroses caused by media over-exposure, shifting meanings, extra-sensory communication and language recognition programmes; a magic carpet; a time travel vessel; alienated bodies and paranormal activity.
OPEN SOURCE is curated by Emily Butler, Gareth Bell-Jones, Marie d’Elbée, Attilia Fattori Franchini, Anna Gritz, Morgan Quaintance, Chris Rawcliffe and Amy Sherlock.
