antiAtlas of Borders
The call for proposals is opened in order to select original productions for the exhibition that will take place at la Compagnie, from 13 December 2013 to 1rst March 2014. Because of its transdisciplinary nature, the antiAtlas of Borders offers multiple levels of involvement and participation. Visitors will engage with a variety of transmedia applications within a space punctuated with interactive sculptures, installations and videos. This playful exhibition will stimulate the public through the interaction with robots, drones and video games. This is an exhibition to engage with: try it yourself!
The curator and the artistic and scientific committee are looking for various proposals (artworks, net. Art, photo, video, testimonies, documentaries, video games …) showing different ways to experience the borders. Proposals from migrants, professionals and artists are welcome, in order to contribute to prepare a resolutely participatory exhibition.
