The affair of the transmitting rock uncovered by the Russians in Moscow is straight out of a John le Carre thriller - with a touch of James Bond gadgetry and a twist of the Keystone cops in the way it went wrong for the British. Now in its fifth year, the FITC Design and Technology awards has continued to grow over the years. The 2006 Awards will be held on Sunday April 23rd in Toronto Canada at Revival. We hope to see you there!
This year we've changed a few things; one of which is to open our four 'Best Canadian' categories (student, designer, developer, and studio) to a nomination process, instead of a submission process. What this means is that now anyone can nominate (for free) anyone to these four categories. Our other Categories are still only $25 CDN to enter your URL in up to 3 categories. So be sure to nominate and submit!
Nominations and submissions are now open!
Note that nominations and submissions will close on March 1st, 2006.
The first and only virtual museum with over 150 international top artists in different sections such as: "Photography", "Digital Art" and "Pixel Art".

EXPERIMENTAL ART FOUNDATION and the ADELAIDE BANK FESTIVAL OF ARTS 2006 present
ROBOTIC ARTS, INFLATABLE AESTHETICISM
Robotic Arts, Inflatable Aestheticism is a project comprising
exhibition, workshop, and presentations by Chico MaMurtrie,
one of the world's leading artists using robotic technologies.
Chico MacMurtrie - born in New Mexico and now residing in New York -
is the Artistic Director of Amorphic Robot Works (ARW).
Formed in 1992, ARW is a group of artists, engineers and technicians working
together to create robotic performances and installations. Chico
MacMurtrie describes his vision, "The work is an ongoing endeavor to
uncover the primacy of movement and sound. Each machine is inspired
or influenced, both, by modern society, and what I physically
experience and sense. The whole of this input informs my ideas and
work."
www.amorphicrobotworks.org
3 MARCH-8 APRIL
INFLATABLE BODIES A NEW GENERATION OF ROBOTIC SCULPTURE
Since its establishment, Amorphic Robot Works has investigated the
nature of movement via the creation of multi-faceted
machine-sculptures that play and interact in their uniquely designed
environments. This artistic program has resulted in the creation of
more than 250 mechanical sculptures of varying size, that assume
anthropomorphic and abstract forms.
One of the hallmark aspects of ARW's work is its direct contact with
the audience. Rarely does the work appear on stage, behind ropes or
behind glass. As the audience for the work has grown in size, so has
the work itself. To make performances visible, and yet still
physically accessible to the audience, the work has been erected and
performed upon integrated sculptures of increasing height. A new
generation of permanent work from ARW will completely eliminate the
metal and thus, the physically and logistically cumbersome weight.
Humanoid forms will arise from high-tensile inflatable fabric
skeletons, formless until air inflates the bones. The possibilities
for range and kind of movement, are as broad as that for muscle and
bone, but with little of the mass. This new generation of interactive
performance sculpture from ARW allows not only for a broader
exhibition base, but an interesting new robotic form that does not
conform to the standard conception of either 'robotic' forms or the
existing understanding of kinetic sculpture.
3-19 March: 10-5 Daily; 21 March-8 April: 11-5 Tues-Fri; 2-5 Sat;
Admission Free
24 FEBRUARY-7 MARCH
WORKSHOP THE CREATION OF ROBOTIC ARTS
The Robotic Arts Workshop will serve as a practical and theoretical
platform for the creation of new generations of robotic sculpture and
installation, developed by Chico MacMurtrie and Amorphic Robot Works.
The event will urge the creation of robotic arts by Australian
artists, as it provides hands-on exploration of robotic technologies.
Drawn from national registration, artists and robot makers will
assist in the building of the robotic structures for the exhibition.
24 February-7 March. Registrations closed.

TECNOTEATRO 8.0
FreeFestival delle nuove forme d’arte
2, 3, 4 MARZO 2006
@ Hiroshima Mon Amour, dalle ore 21.00, ingresso gratuito
Ritorna il circo tecnologico ad alta capacità creativa negli spazi di Hiroshima Mon Amour: suoni, immagini e parole come non vi aspettate.
TecnoTeatro, il free festival delle nuove forme di arte e di spettacolo, è diventato un appuntamento seguito con grande interesse dalla critica specializzata e da un pubblico sempre più numeroso e attento: dopo sette edizioni, è ormai un meeting consolidato, un punto di riferimento per artisti italiani e stranieri che lavorano nel campo dell’innovazione e della sperimentazione.
La formula è sicuramente uno dei punti di forza della manifestazione: ogni serata è gratuita ed è costruita come una sorta di programma circense contemporaneo: più numeri si susseguono, con eventi in contemporanea nelle tre sale attrezzate di Hiroshima Mon Amour, con la stessa dignità di spazio per gli avvenimenti più spettacolari e per gli approfondimenti.
In questa edizione le performance/installazioni sono le produzioni residenti: permetteranno agli spettatori di riflettere sulla demarcazione tra le varie forme d’arte.
Tra le numerose produzioni italiane e internazionali che formano il cartellone, segnaliamo la trilogia generata dai testi di tre autori cardine per la controcultura e per la critica all’immaginario massificato dell’età contemporanea, William Burroughs, James Ballard e Philip K. Dick.
L’ingresso a tutti gli spettacoli è gratuito
