06.07.2013

Dreamworlds / Sun print workshop

Date: 6.July. 2013
Time: 14-17

Costs: 14 Euros for adults / 10 Euros for children

Dreams are like shadows, which appear and disappear in front of us. We will be inspired by elements from our dreams and use the technique of sunography or sun printing to fixate them onto paper. In addition, we will experiment with toning our prints in blue, yellow and sepia. Sunprinting leads back to the origins of photography and the 19th century blueprint technique of the 'cyanotype' and the photogram.'The workshop also provides an opportunity to learn about the history of this very accessible technique that leads back to the origins of photography. All materials are provided, however it would be great if you can bring additional materials such as transparent or not transparent small objects inspired by your dream, leaves or other natural elements.

For the publication of issue #55, the digital journal InterArtive will publish a special issue dedicated to diverse aspects of the current discussion about Art & Mobility. We invite theorists, critics, curators and artists who work on the subject to participate.

Artistic practices and creativity are directly and closely linked to mobility. A great part of the art and architecture that we know would not have existed if it weren’t for the urge to travel, to discover, for the need to go beyond limits - territorial and intellectual - of the known.

To reflect on mobility today means to widen the perspective, to go beyond the concepts of travel, discovery and displacement; it calls for an analysis of the social, political, economic and cultural phenomena linked to it.

VIDA the Art and Artificial Life International Awards begun in 1999 by Fundación Telefónica, it was created with the mission of supporting creative endeavors in this singular field by rewarding the pioneering efforts of artists. At a time when the concept of life finds itself once again in uncharted territory, a wide range of artistic initiatives attempt to illustrate and explore this phenomenon, examining its impact on our collective consciousness and how it affects the cultural, technological and social mindset. Over the past decade, VIDA has welcomed a variety of interdisciplinary projects that respond to this situation and brought them together in a single forum.
