Cinevolution’s Digital Carnival is back again at the Richmond World Festival on September 3rd!
Date/Time: Sep 3 2016, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm
Richmond, Media Lab
As the climax of our 2016 Your Kontinent Pop-up Media Fest series, the 5th annual Digital Carnival will address a collective “digital narration” with strong conceptualization and artistic innovation.
WATER is the theme of this year’s program, highlighting social, political, scientific, cultural and philosophical issues we are facing in our community – the City of Richmond, nicknamed as Lulu Island surrounded by rivers — and beyond. Water is the main component of both the earth and the human body; water is the source of life and human civilization; water connects people all over the world, and water is one of the most valuable natural resource on this planet. Metaphorically, water plays an important role in ancient Asian philosophies and rituals, symbolizing change, migration, and interconnectedness of the universe.
We envision this year’s Digital Carnival as not only a celebration of cutting edge digital technology and promising media artists, but also an evening of innovative audio-visual storytelling, expanding the viewer’s perspective and enriching the collective discourse concerning the world in which we all live.
A total of 6 works will be selected. A $300 honorarium will be awarded to each selected work.
We are very pleased to announce that veteran media artist Wynne Palmer will be the guest curator of this year’s program, and Sammy Chien will be Digital Carnival’s featured artist!
