In 2011 The Subtle Technologies Festival celebrates its 14th year of bringing people together to promote wonder, incite creativity and spark innovation across disciplines. Through symposia, exhibitions, workshops, screenings and performances they provide a forum to pose and explore questions and inspire work at the intersection of art, science and technology.
As knowledge becomes specialized, compartmentalized and tagged it becomes more urgent to step back and look at seemingly unconnected artistic practices and fields of research to find new bridges and networks between them.
Based on submissions received, a diverse program will be assembled to represent a wide range of subjects and disciplines. For the exhibition and performance portion of the program they typically showcase work that is engaging and technology based.
The symposium is made up of presentations, demonstrations and panel discussions that range from 15 to 45 minutes in length.
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?
