International digital arts festival DA Fest launches a call for participation in the workshop LightParasites of the German group RaumZeitPiraten.

 

Within the workshop will be researched and developed site-specific light sculptures and non-intrusive, architectural interventions called the LightParasites. RaumZeitPiraten will demonstrate how the Used laboratory equipment, magnifying glasses and mirrors, own light sources and the light sources existing on-site are temporarily transformed into individual projection devices. The participants can create a rhizomatic, multi-layer imagery made of information that is hidden in the diffuse cones of light, like glow wires, reflectors and other parts of its internal construction.

 

The workshop will be held on 16 September from 13:00 to 19:00 in Studio 1, in the central building of the National Academy of Art, on 1 Shipka Str. 

 

The workshop results will be combined to a collective installation and presented as exhibition.
