/Glitch FESTIVAL 2015

Ireland’s only Interactive Digital Arts Festival returns to RUA RED for a 5th year.

RUA RED Arts Centre Tallaght    29th May - 6th June

Curated by Ciara Scanlan + Matthew Nevin of MART.

This year RUA RED have invited MART to collaborate on the annual digital arts festival /Glitch. Together, the organisations are excited to present a week long interactive digital festival exploring the use of both old and new technologies to investigate the influence of technology within space.

The curators presented the question “How can technology activate a more visceral connectivity from a virtual standpoint?” to a series of established and emerging Irish and international artists, reassessing what it is to be both local and yet hold an inter/national spatial autonomy.

/Glitch 2015 features:
Adam Gibney, Anne Cleary & Denis Connolly, Bonnie Begusch, Brian Duggan, Cecily Brennan, David Stalling, Jonathan Mayhew, Katherine Nolan, Louise Brady, Marie Farrington, Mark Clare, Sam Jury, Stephanie Golden & Moya Clarken, Steven Maybury

Also featuring Homebeat, Square in the Circle and Jennie Taylor with more to be announced.

/Glitch 2015 is housed both in RUA RED & MART Galleries and will feature interactive visual & sound artworks that will encourage the audience to engage and experiment with altered technologies. The curators Ciara Scanlan and Matthew Nevin have reconstructed a representational frame of The MART old fire station within RUA RED’s Gallery 1.
