Eniac – Into the woods

Dear Share Festival friends,
the Smart Mistakes programme is now on-line. From project failure to the aesthetics of error, the 6th Piemonte Share Festival will be exploring the artistic and cultural import of error and chance discovery, through installations, exhibitions, performances, debates and, of course, the highly anticipated awarding of this year’s Share Prize.

The 6th Piemonte Share Festival, directed by Simona Lodi and Chiara Garibaldi is just around the corner. Within the programme of events for Your Time, Torino 2010 European Youth Capital, Share Festival together with ClubToClub, Musica90 and Prospettiva will be presenting Youth Museum, hosted from 15th October to 7th November by the Regional Museum of Natural Science in Turin.

And in the lead up to the festival, two special events will be showcasing just what it means to create art in the digital age.
