roBOt: a festival with an international scope that comes with 2010 in its third year, a journey every year more exciting and ready to meet the challenges of new forms of art, experimentation and entertainment; in a world where social, aesthetic and ideal renewal is a continuous and daily reality, especially for the advent of new technologies.

New technologies and new forms of artistic expression stimulate new players that are able to practice on new operational procedures. A person, once autistically trapped in the meanderings of cybernetics, today is the best interpreter in the challenge of auto-production, creation and management in the performative and distribution channels, in the development and restylng of the interaction between audience and performer; introducing a deep personal touch found in the practice, the desire to play the game and the will/need to juggle with the personal cognitive mechanisms operating forces of all that falls in their own world.

Call4roBOt is an important part of the festival, entirely dedicated to audio/video interaction projects. A call for tender will select original projects related to the union between “classic” art techiques (from painting to performance, from photography to sculpture) and new digital technologies (i-phone apps, 3d software, interactve multimedia installations, etc.)

roBOt is promoted by the cultural association, Shape, and it’s realization also thanks to the support of the Emilia-Romagna region, City of Bologna, Province of Bologna and Fondazione Monte (Monte Foundation).

Shape has been looking after contemporary musical culture in the Bologna area for years, with an ever growing commitment, appeal, and with an artistic view that becomes ever more sought out and original at national and international level. Each activity designed and produced has the aim of valorizing the city of Bologna, and finds this festival to be the best form of expressing this idea. A multiannual project of re-launching the city, necessary to let the world and the city itself discover the intellectual, social, and cultural resources that it predisposes.

Shape strongly believes that these initiatives are an excellent way for the city to benefit not only in terms of economic growth, but most importantly, cultural growth.

THEMES OF THE FESTIVAL:

Hybridization of artistic techniques. Technical trials for the future..

• The challenges in contrast: presence/absence, old/new, virtual/corporeal.

• The interpretive challenges: what is art, and what is not, what is science and what is progress, what is imagination and what is insanity.

• The diachronical challenges: which past and which future for art, technology and communication.

• The synchronic challenges: what is the potential for contamination between plans, styles, and different forms of media.

• The ultimate daily challenge for art and society, enclosed in one word: hybridization
