| Festival @rt Outsiders 2009. Paris |
Festival @rt Outsiders 2009
www.art-outsiders.com*
*(Un)Inhabitable?
Art of Extreme Environments*
September 9 > October 11 2009 Wenesday – Sunday / 11 am-8 pm
*OPENING SEPTEMBER 8th 2009 – 4pm – 8 pm*
*Maison Européenne de la Photographie.* 5-7, Rue de Fourcy, 75004 Paris. Metro: Saint Paul or Pont Marie
The 2009 edition of the @rt Outsiders Festival —celebrating this year its tenth anniversary—focuses on extreme environments.
These are environments that were, until recently, uninhabited by human beings and that contemporary science and technology turn into "inhabitable" places (Antarctica, underwater world, outer space, deserts); but also those that are becoming "uninhabitable" due to the impacts of our way of life (pollution, technological accidents, economical pressures and global warming).

| TouchPoint: The Haptic Exchange Between Digits. |
The SIGGRAPH 2010 juried art exhibition showcases work by artists who physically engage technology in their creative process. Beyond the sense of sight, the exhibition brings together creative works that investigate, celebrate, and critique the polysensory nature of human experience in a digitally enhanced environment.
The exhibition investigates the permeable membrane of the digital interface, where we use an array of tools to materialize and visualize future artifacts of creative expression. Integral to the work is human haptic connection in computer-based artwork, involving the "viewer" and/or the artist through a unique physical interface.
Neural networks extend throughout the human body, connecting our consciousness to the sensory environment. The lightest touch of a fingertip blends the seeming separation between self and other. The memory of such experiences is tacit and stored somewhere between the point of contact and cognizance. Physical memory is a product of our polysensory systems, an integrated and constant mapping of the world through the synthesis of multiple data streams creating tacit knowledge.
By integrating polysensory experiences, a more thorough marriage between internal processing and external experience develops a shared identity with the work - a physical memory of tacit experience - between the maker and the made, between the user and the artifact, between the audience and the bard. The user or viewer or participant becomes an integral part of the manifestation of the artwork. The exhibition becomes an interactive environment where the viewer wonders: "What would it look like if I was driving the train?"
Works exhibited in TouchPoint will be published in a special issue of Leonardo, the Journal of the International Society of the Arts, Sciences and Technology. The issue will also include the SIGGRAPH 2010 Art Papers. Publication of this special issue coincides with SIGGRAPH 2010.
The full list of artworks and artists will be available here in May.
