Dislocate 07 Festival for Art, Technology and Locality
Dislocate brings together a group of over 30
international artists in an exhibition, symposium
and workshop series in Tokyo and Yokohama.
Considering the spacial and social dislocation
which can occur through technology, these artists
are investigating how new media can be rooted in
its specific location and form a meaningful
relationship between ourselves and our
surroundings.
Dislocate aims to explore the potential new media
has to increase our awareness of our environment,
enhance participation in our locality and
community and transform our perceptions of the
space we inhabit.
This project presents cutting edge approaches to
new technology art but with a view to seeing
beyond the technology itself, examining what lies
past the screen. Dislocate prompts us to
reconsider the alternative uses of the personal
technologies which surround us, not merely
offering an escape route from our current
situation but also a tool to actually confront
this very location.
With an endless array of spaces available to us,
we can select our contexts of participation like
the channels of a television. We may be highly
active in an online space, engrossed in our
constructed personal space, but by choice or
otherwise we may distance ourselves from our
immediate surroundings. We are presented with the
freedom of unlimited possibilities and yet are
we making these decisions consciously or are they
occurring without thought?
Dislocate considers the very integration of new
media with the environment and this might be
utilized to consciously reconnect with our
location, seeking to explore, question and debate
how can technology be used to heighten our
engagement with our surroundings instead of
isolating us from our immediate space.
When numerous places converge in one site, how do
we navigate such space? How does our interaction
within a given space formulate identity and how
can this be communicated effectively to elsewhere?
These are some of the questions which will be
raised through the Dislocate events.
All events are free
