MFF2010

For Nuit Blanche, MFF 2010 offers a breathtaking view on digital artworks presented in the Brussels public space and all over Europe.  During one night, the buildings along the canal will be pulsating to the rhythm of the city, while signs and advertising displays will be transformed into virtual artworks. An unusual walk in the heart of the digital city!

The Artvertiser is an urban, hand-held 'Improved Reality' project that re-purposes street advertisements as the surface for exhibiting art. During this 3-days workshop, participating artists will have the opportunity to create visual works to replace urban advertisement in Brussels. They will be able to experiment and analyse real time computer vision techniques developed by Julian Oliver and his team.

On the occasion of the White Night in Madrid, MFF 2010 will feature works around the theme of "Human Screens", where urban screens like the Flagey one can take a human  and playful dimension. This event engages passer-by's on the Flagey Square in a fun and participatory way.

"European Window" presents art projects that support intercultural exchange and connect the local scenes through the media facades of the participating cities. In Brussels, we will show "Get Your Back Up Off the Wall", an interactive vidéo by Nika Radic and "Tales that are never told", a vidéo by the net activists Toxic Lesbian. These custom-made projects will be shown on the Flagey Screen.
