Call for entry roBOt Festival

May 5, 2010 5:52 pm

roBOt: a festival of vast international flavor that in 2010 reaches it’s third edition, through fast growing journeys packed with excitement and always ready to pick up new challenges for new art forms, experimentation and entertainment in a world where renovation, social, aesthetic and ideal, is a palpable daily and continuous reality, also thanks to the arrival of innovative technologies.

New technologies and new forms of artistic expressions call out for new actors able to practice new means and conditions. The image of the nerd had upped it’s level, leaving behind any kind of negative undertone, transforming it’s image, thanks to his technological intelligence, which is fundamental.

This stereotype of a person, that at one point was constantly lost in the complex corridors of the cyber net, is today, the person that is most suited to pick up the challenge of auto-production, the creation and handling of the channels of interaction between the public and the performer; all this topped up with a profoundly personal touch born from practice, and the need to raise the bar first hand, when it comes to facing new technologies and the will/necessity to joust ones knowledge of the mechanisms and function of everything that composes this very personal world.

roBOt is election ground for whoever wishes to lay themselves on the line – with a strong human component that is at the base of everyone of us, so –to tackle contemporary arts, which are able to interact smoothly with technology. Knowledge of new media, with a strongly emotional approach (and that is ably to operate on the audience’s emotion).
