The
Age 2006 Melbourne Fringe Festival - Digital
Fringe
Digital Fringe, part of the Melbourne Fringe Festival
(September 27 – October 15)
We
hope to add a list of which VJzoo.com works were shown
when/if we can get hold of details of a Program. As some
of our screenshots are on their site, we assume our work's
been included in the screenings :)
Streaming
live across the city, from the big screen at Federation
Square to a host of other screens around town.
Digital Fringe
will have you thumbing art from your mobile phone and
watching public projections in the most unlikely places.
The
Digital Fringe General stream is a curated playlist of
digital art that has been submitted from around the world
in response to a global call for entries on arts listservs
around the planet. Currently over 250 entries have come
in from across Western, Central and Eastern Europe, Northern
Africa, the Americas, Asia and Australia.
Globally
people have ferreted around their hard drives and submitted
a variety of styles and aesthetics, ranginging from stills,
animations, video art, short films, and abstract pieces.
The works come from professional artists to everyday people
who like to dabble in the digital. They will be shown
all over the city without sound and can also be accessed
online via this website.
The
general stream will play over all screens that have signed
up for Digital Fringe. These range from hospitality venues,
galleries, retail venues, and public institutions, to
the humble home computer to the iHubs and grand screen
at Federation Square. The number and variety of screens
involved means that digital art is finding its way into
all sorts of nooks and crannies around the city.
Screens
include:
And
of course the MPU creating guerrilla screens wherever
it goes MPU (Mobile
Projection Unit) |
