Cinevolution’s Digital Carnival is back again at the Richmond World
Festival on September 3rd!
As the climax of our 2016 Your Kontinent Pop-up Media Fest
series, the 5th annual Digital Carnival will address a collective
« digital narration » with strong conceptualization and artistic
innovation.
WATER is the theme of this year’s program, highlighting social,
political, scientific, cultural and philosophical issues we are facing in
our community – the City of Richmond, nicknamed as Lulu Island
surrounded by rivers and beyond. Water is the main component
of both the earth and the human body; water is the source of life
and human civilization; water connects people all over the world,
and water is one of the most valuable natural resource on this
planet. Metaphorically, water plays an important role in ancient
Asian philosophies and rituals, symbolizing change, migration, and
interconnectedness of the universe.
We envision this year’s Digital Carnival as not only a celebration of
cutting edge digital technology and promising media artists, but
also an evening of innovative audio-visual storytelling, expanding
the viewer’s perspective and enriching the collective discourse
concerning the world in which we all live.
A total of 6 works will be selected. A $300 honorarium will be
awarded to each selected work.
Submission Deadline: Monday, August 1st, 2016
We are very pleased to announce that veteran media artist Wynne
Palmer will be the guest curator of this year’s program, and Sammy
Chien will be Digital Carnival’s featured artist!
