The FUTUREPLACES Festival is an international event fostering digital media work currently being produced around the world. We want to explore the impact of new technologies in life, communities, social well-being, cultural development and accessibility. futureplaces asks a fundamental question: how can new technology build local communities, create new identities, new narratives, new forms of public interaction? How can creative projects foster cultural development?
We want to answer this with the help of a generation of creators who are breaking conventions. We are addressing this call to those who are blurring the lines not only between disciplines, but between the real and the virtual and between the commercial, the artistic, and the academic arenas.
Rather than focusing on particular technologies, we want to focus on content. Therefore, the festival encourages submissions of work developed in the most varied media: web, digital video, installation, electronic music, 3D graphics, cell phone art and productions related to locative media, games and hybrid media.
