3x3 SMIL Stereoscopy Mapping In Live
Is a natural continuation of festivals held in Argentina between 2000 and 2007: especially, the events of Festival Internacional de Arte Digital which aimed to create an interaction space between novices, artists and professionals of digital art, design, video, photography, music. And also any other event oriented toward experimental practice (performances, installations, etc.) having a link with the audiovisual, such as multimedia production, Vj, Dj, or audiovisual creation of any kind. Each artist, involved, was seeking new forms of expression. The Festival Internacional de Arte Digital was the first festival of this kind in Argentina, and the first real space distribution of independent Argentinean artists’ works working with digitization of sound and image through various media.
In accordance with the ethics and aesthetics of digital festivals in Argentina for ten years, this 1rst edition of 3x3 SMIL, Stereoscopy Mapping In Live in Paris, will have water as its emblem.
Loyal to figure 3, we will highlight three of four natural elements: water, earth and air.
These elements, magical screens of man before the history and his evolution, are his memory. However, despite its wealth, he strives to destroy his most precious natural resources.
In this period where the planet is the largest ocean contamination, particularly following the explosion of the Fukushima nuclear plant, in Japan, it seems fundamental that artistic expression can address this ecological disaster.
For this reason, the organizers of 3x3 SMIL Stereoscopy Mapping In Live, invite participants to reflect on the theme of water: an reckless behavioural observation of the man with his habitat. This discussion could be extended to other problems such as the disadvantages of certain populations to have access to drinking water, the links between water and energy, the multiple uses of water in the world, water and health, and, for example, with other contaminants of the oceans.
Metaphorical or allegorical presence of liquid will be required as part of the works participating in the festival.
Why 3 x 3 ?
« 3x3 » : 3 indicates the duration of videos that will participate in the festival, between 3 seconds and 3 minutes, and the format in three dimensions.
« Stereoscopy »: « stéréo » comes from Greek « relating to space ». Today when we speak about stereo, reference is made to the stereophonic sound, but originally, the term was associated with stereoscopic, drawn or photographed images. The term 3D is now referring to 3D images and specifically 3D movies which include three dimensions.
« Mapping » or « Video-mapping » : adaptation of video content on a 2D surface or 3D, an object, a facade, a human body
Repercussion and targets
The originality of 3x3 SMIL Stereoscopy Mapping In Live, lies not only in the fact that this is the first event dedicated to stereoscopy, but also in its mutant character with a concept which evolves progressively from its editions. It will listen to the various speakers, artistic proposals, new technological discoveries. 3x3 SMIL Stereoscopy Mapping In Live will be launched in France in 2013 (Cayeux Sur Mer, Deauville, Cannes, Lyon ...), followed by Europe (Berlin, Bilbao, Amsterdam, Milan, London, Brussels,...).
The 3x3 SMIL Stereoscopy Mapping In Live is open to the public, ranging from simple novice, through the passionate artists of the image, to photography and 3D video specialists. It is focused on 3D, but it is open to any artistic manifestation that could make its own media experience.
Its purpose is to promote the art, aspiring artists, while inviting the public to a healthy and objective reflection on man and his environment.
