Audio-visual shows, projections and live musical performances with artists from 10 countries at RADAR 2024
Audio-visual shows, projections and live musical performances will be on show from Friday to Sunday at the 5th edition of the RADAR Festival - Romanian Artists Developing Alternative Realities, in the Factory Garden of the Caro Hotel in Bucharest.
The founders of RADAR, Madalina Ivascu and Sorina Topceanu, said on Thursday that this year's edition of the festival "is becoming an international event of new media art, with participants from ten countries, marking a major evolution from previous editions".
"We are glad that the fascination with the applicability of technology is growing, and for the new generations it is an interactive, content-generating environment, a perfect playground for them. RADAR's audience is made up of curious people in search of stimulation for the imagination and new sources of inspiration, and most of the projects presented include experiments and unique concepts that aim to trigger a wide range of emotions and raise as many questions about the future as possible," said the two founders.
The festival will also feature digital works by Romanian artists and independent studios, as well as a special section created in partnership with the National University of Theater and Cinematographic Art (UNATC), dedicated to students and graduates of the ITPMA master's program, which celebrates its seventh anniversary in 2024, said Madalina Ivascu.
The new media art installations in the exhibition use technologies such as Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, Mixed Reality, Artificial Intelligence, video-mapping and interactivity sensors, transforming the audience from mere spectators into active collaborators in exploring the future.
"Nature in its physical sense, from the atom to the depths of the universe, is an inexhaustible source of inspiration for us. Most of our work is based on notions of dynamics, motion, gravity and geometry. And when we show our work, the most important thing for us is to provoke emotions, which is what we expect from RADAR visitors. To see the audience smiling, dancing and sometimes crying is probably the greatest reward for us, because it means that we have succeeded in using technology to generate emotions," said representatives of the Collectif Scale studio from France, present at the festival with their installations Amonitte and Carnival.
Between 19:00 and 22:00, visitors will be able to enjoy the most innovative experimental projects in the fields of electronic sound creation, audiovisual creation and digital art.
The RADAR Future Nature LIVE A/V (live audio-visual) stage is curated by artist Dilmana Yordanova, an interdisciplinary artist, cultural manager, art curator and university lecturer with over 25 years of experience.
The children's section of this year's RADAR festival brings more than eight interactive and educational experiences that will allow children to explore and control a fantastic world. During the three-day festival, they can interact with digital art installations specially created by artists from Romania, Denmark and France.AGERPRES(RO - author: Petronius Craiu, editor: Florin Marin; EN - editor: Simona Iacob)
