| OVERTURES – Conclusions of a North-South expedition on the topic of water 2006 Iceland . 2007 The Alps (Italy, Austria and Germany), Turkey . 2008 Spain This years 3rd Overtures project is coming up with new prospects for the way mankind deals with water. The international project staff´s caravan set off from Iceland in 2006 and headed south through Europe to conduct onsite research in the Alps, Turkey and Spain. At the 2008 Ars Electronica Festival, project staffers will present preliminary conclusions that can be drawn from this long-term experiment. In the year 2000, reacting to early signs, the art forum artcircolo started its project series OVERTURES – a future-oriented research endeavour into the global perception of water. Right from the start, the mode of operation has been a new kind of collaboration between artists, curators, technologist, scientists, industry and media experts. Looking at the outcomes of all possible and probable scenarios that reflect not only our past, but also our present and future behaviour, OVERTURES formulates novel alternatives for dealing water that are presented to society in the form of open proposals for action. The continuous flow of information between interdisciplinary partners results works of art in resonance with the ecologically transformed significance of this resource – an art that questions and comments on the impact that dramatic climate change and our lifestyles have on water reserves, natural habitats and society. |
