CALLING ALL VIDEO ARTISTS! Biome Arts is hosting screenings of video art as part of the event series Eco_Hack 2016. The screenings will take place aboard Swale, a floating food forest by Mary Mattingly, inside the Greenhouse Theater, a multi-purpose structure built aboard Swale by Biome Arts.
Eco_Hack 2016 is an installation and performance series taking place at Swale. Swale is a floating garden of edible and medicinal plants that asks the question, what if healthy, fresh food could be a free public service and not just an expensive commodity? Built on a 130-foot by 40-foot barge Swale contains an edible forest garden using a sustainable form of agriculture called perm aculture. Swale imagines an alternate future with water and fresh food as commons.
Lens-based artist Sally Bozzuto along with Biome Arts will be curating evenings of video art to be screened on Swale using a projection system we are creating in the Greenhouse Theater. We are looking for video art intersecting/creating relationships between:
ecology, sustainability, food & environmental justice, open source, civic data & technology, localism, alternative political organizing, prefigurative politics, hacking, blockchain, decentralization, autonomy from centralized food, energy, water, healthcare, telecommunication & transportation infrastructure.
