New Forms Festival 2007 - Deadline: April 1, 2007
The New Forms Festival is an annual cross-disciplinary festival
exploring installation, performance, music, film, and electronic arts.
The theme for NFF07 is Re·Use
To use something again, often for a different purpose and usually as
an alternative to throwing it out.
NFF 07 looks at the ideas of reuse in the media arts. These forms
have been able to come from different areas all around us. Whether
involving the recycling of equipment, the change in its use,
reprogramming material, the sample and mash-up of sound/images and
reconstruction of ideas; the concept of reuse has become one of the
major entities behind invigorating, changing, and growing media and
electronic arts.
Over history art has always seen recontextualization at its very
core. Warhol once asked if there was ever really an original idea.
Shakespearean tales become modern films, ancient sounds become
electronic music anthems. Pop culture drives home sounds and imagery
that have changed, grown, and evolved over time. Within this we have
seen our cultures mix, grow, and shape shift as ideas get
recontextualized and reapproapriated from generation to generation,
and culture to culture.
For Re:Use NFF is looking for pieces that challenge these models and
trends, recognizing shifts that have taken place as well as new and
innovative works that re:use works on formats and in ways not yet
seen. As the amount of information we receive on a daily basis
increases at a pace far faster that at any other time in history, NFF
07 will become a platform for this mixed media world, and a indicator
of what might lie ahead in the years to come.
