MFF 2010: Finissage Nuit Blanche

Slotevenement tijdens de Nuit Blanche Brussel

Voor Nuit Blanche, biedt MFF 2010 een uniek kijkaspect op de digitale kunstwerken die in de Brusselse openbare ruimte worden voorgesteld en over heel Europa verspreidt.

Voor de tijd van één nacht trillen de Kanaalgebouwen mee op het ritme van de stad, dit terwijl publiciteitspanelen en -schermen zich omvormen tot virtuele beeldende kunstwerken. Een bijzondere wandeling doorheen het hart van de digitale stad!

Programma:

"Artvertising Brussels" by Julian Oliver, Damian Stewart (NZ)
& participating artists
Starting point at iMAL, departures between 14:00 - 16:00

Postponed to this Sunday, 10AM, because of a demonstration in the city centre!

“The Artvertiser” is an urban, hand-held ‘Improved Reality’ project that re-purposes street advertisements as the surface for exhibiting art, through the use of specially built binoculars (or Billboard Intercept Units).
During  this “augmented” walk in the city, you will be able to discover visual creations realized by the participants of the Artvertising Brussels” workshop.
