TEKNIKA RADICA PRESENTS:
"POWERING UP/POWERING DOWN"
An International Festival of Radical Media Arts
January 30th - February 1st, 2004
http://teknikaradica.org/
Pushing boundaries of electronic media and technology, artists, writers,
and musicians from around the world will gather on the University of
California, San Diego campus on January 30th for Powering Up/Powering
Down, a three-day festival of public concerts, panels and exhibits.
Exploring the complex relationship between technology, gender and race,
and economics, Powering Up/Powering Down will create a living laboratory
where artists, performers, thinkers, students and the public will
discuss innovative artwork, share skills and collaborate on new pieces.
Juxtaposing various media and diverse approaches, the festival will
create a space for conversation and co-creation between UC campuses,
underground artists from California and Tijuana, and an extended
international arts
community; sparking a dialogue among international artists around the
issues of social identity media arts.
