PARALLAX – Stereoscopic Video Art for Everybody in Europe
Start date: May 1, 2012,

In order to reflect on European urban and social mutations, PARALLAX project proposes to catalyze mobility of artists and cultural operators as well as their works through a special focus on new instruments of video creation, S3D, in its intercultural context and experimental creative framework.The stereoscopic 3-Dimensional (S3D) technologies develop so fast that one has no time to consider them in hindsight. The immersive S3D technology is already available not only in cinema theatres, but also in home video, video games, mobile phones, and on the web. A new window, new space has been opened to a wide range of artists, developers and users. It seems important to explore its artistic and democratic potential and to give people some keys to escape the commercial logic and make the technology of stereoscopic 3-Dimensional video making closer to their daily lives and common way of visual expression. PARALLAX has been designed according to 3 main objectives in an attempt to enrich this reflection:• to contribute to a sensitive and plural reflection of European social communities• to promote new creation forms in connection with today’s cultural uses• to encourage European citizens to appropriate new technologies as means ofexpression and sharing• to foster new ways for artistic expression through disseminating knowledge of new,available S3D technologies• to support networking in “new artistic genre” of S3D video through circulatingparticular artistic worksUnder the leadership of one of the most dynamic European catalysts for emerging talents in media art and design (Hochschule fur Gestaltung from Karlsruhe), in cooperation with the cutting-edge artist association M2F and the vibrant Europe-wide active media lab and digital art and culture promoter (CIANT), the project activities will comprise of workshops, residencies, symposia and highly visible public showcases.
