Futuresonic 2009 Art strand
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Each year Futuresonic's Art strand commissions new artworks and presents exhibitions on art, technology and social themes, with a focus on artworks that are participatory, sited in public space, and in an urban context. Futuresonic is a space to critically explore the latest upgrade affecting today's digital culture. The festival features art exhibitions, performances and interventions, including many world firsts - transforming the city into a space of experimentation, making it come alive.
2009 is the culmination of the Environment 2.0 project. Within the festival and throughout the year, Futuresonic will be exploring the Environment 2.0 theme, the interface between our digital footprint and our environmental footprint. Through Cracks In The Pavement is an exhibition featuring artworks that seek to inspire social change, and local innovations that enhance sustainability. Post-Car Futures is an exhibition exploring new mobilities from the wheel to wirelessness, and new ways of travelling and new ways to stay still.
Futuresonic invites submissions of artworks, social innovations or technological interventions for inclusion in the Futuresonic 2009 festival and on the Environment 2.0 theme.

Environment 2.0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Futuresonic and FutureEverything have been leading the international debate on environmental sustainability in urban settings and its relation to digital culture. The exhibition at Futuresonic 2009 builds upon a conference event at Futuresonic 2007, a series of workshops at Lancaster University in UK and ISEA2008 in Singapore, and a themed call of the leading international journal Leonardo.
We invite all people concerned with these issues to participate in the exhibition in order to achieve wider critical mass.
Presented in partnership with ImaginationLancaster. For more information on the Environment 2.0 theme and linked activities visit
