FIBER Festival – Sharing Signals from Hotpixel on Vimeo.

When you see artistic ideas spreading, practices evolving, part of the reason is that people are being exposed to those ideas. (It’s nice when contagion has artistic symptoms, rather than, you know, nasty illnesses and whatnot.)

Here, the design agency Hotpixel documents a video montage love sonnet to Holland’s FIBER Festival, as the Netherlands meet Mexico City.

In March 2012 we were invited to co-curate the video gallery, exhibit at the expo, participate in a discussion panel and give an openFrameworks workshop for the FIBER Festival 2012. This is a video documentation of how much we enjoy the festival.

FIBER is an “event platform” as well as festival; they next organize a Bring Your Own Beamer event in Utrecht.
