Mediamatic Salon
Hybrid World Romance

Salon on the hybrid world

Mobile phones and RFID offer new – cultural — possibilities to link digital and physical space. In this hybrid world beautiful projects emerge in which the digital kisses the physical.

Sascha Pohflepp (D) will present his networked photo camera Between Blinks & Buttons, that, remarkably, takes someone else's pictures if you press it's button!

Nicolas Nova (CH) will show us what it is that he learned while making CatchBob!, a mobile game designed to run live psychological experiments.

The A4 programme, launched by B.P.S.22 Project in order to present the work of young artists, returns to the Centre for Fine Arts with HELL’O MONSTERS, a group of four artists – Blastus, Desro, Ewing 33, and Tatone – who have emerged from the graffiti scene. Drawings in ink, made with markers or spray cans, and in paint create a fantastic world peopled by imaginary characters, spreading across the walls of the Centre.
