Caravan is a new initiative that aims to strengthen the international networks and expand the range of opportunities for performing artists and companies in south east England to work abroad.
There are two strands to the work of caravan. The dialogue programme is a series of conversations that started in autumn 2007 that is preparing companies for working internationally. This is followed by an international assembly scheduled for 11–13 May 2008 in Brighton, England in partnership with the Brighton Festival.
Blast Theory will be presenting Rider Spoke as part of caravan in the Brighton Festival and will be making a presentation to delegates on the 11th of May.
The work of Blast Theory will be featured as part of Khoj Live 08, a Live Art festival taking place in Delhi, India between 25 and 30 March in collaboration the Live Art Development Agency.
We are extremely pleased to announce that we have received an honorary mention for Day Of The Figurines at this year's Prix Ars Electronica, the International Competition for Cyber Arts.
Blast Theory previously won the coveted Golden Nica for Can You See Me Now? in 2003.
The project will build and roll out a mass participation science project with an environmental theme taking advantage of the proliferation of mobile devices. more...
