SUMMIT is a 3-day-long installation and performance art festival. Curated by Calx Vida SUMMIT 2016 featured more than 20 installation & performing artists presenting new work at the edge of their fields, connecting identity, human ingenuity and the cosmos.
NATURE: THE WAY THINGS ARE.
TECHNOLOGY: THE THINGS WE MAKE.
The term “technology” includes every product of human invention, from a sharpened stick to virtual networks. The things we make in turn remake us & shift our understanding of what is possible
We strive to use TECHNOLOGY to gain control over our surroundings, and the act of engaging with those surroundings IS the story of our SELF. The process of creating things is the process of creating identity.
How do we make meaning out of the modern world, which is constructed primarily of human artefacts?
How do we use that meaning to help us understand our place in the cosmos?
