Visit the Interactive Futures 06 WebsiteINTERACTIVE FUTURES is a forum for showing recent tendencies in new media art as well as a conference for exploring issues related to technology. The theme of this year's event is Audio Visions.

IF06 will explore new forms of audio-based media art from a diverse body of artists, theorists, and sound practitioners. Sound poetry, web-based audio and multimedia, mobile audio performance, new forms of music theatre, synaesthetic performance, hybrid forms, sound-based installation, video and sound, and environmental sound are all of interest to Audio Visions.

The proliferation of audio technologies, audio-visual collaboration, and hybrid forms of live performance in the new millennium is striking. Audio artists are exploring the areas of mobility, virtuality, performance, and audience interaction from an experimental point-of-view. Audio Visions will feature scholars, sound-artists, and performers of all stripes.

IF06 opens Thursday, January 26th, with the Tangible Frequencies installation series at 7:30 pm, Julie Andreyev's Four Wheel Drift (remix) at 9 pm, and the aDemod Media Jam at 10 pm. The IF06 Electro Jam happens Midnight, January 27th, and includes Tom Kuo, Leonard Paul, Steve Gibson, Jackson 2Bears, Scheinwerfer VJ team, Randy Adams, and Tanya Doody. There will also be an Interactive Futures 06 Preview Performance on Saturday, January 7th, at 8 pm (University of Victoria, Visual Arts, Room A146).
