And here we go again: second task is all about research and development. The first stage is obviously research namely for the Frequency Festival. The theme is LIBERATION. So all that is to follow is more of collection of statements and ideas than an actually thought trough blog post.

First of all what is Frequency Festival?

The Frequencyexperience:
For visitors coming to Frequency there are 4 ways to do Frequency
1. Our exhibition festival trail: from 10am to 5pm we open installation and
experiences to cultural adventurers of any age across the city centre.
2. On- off performances and events: often scheduled after the sun goes down,
this is those looking for a Frequency after hours.
3. Talks and Symposiums: a chance to speak to Frequency artists and curators
in relaxed venues across the city
4. Workshops: Creative playgrounds for children and big kids alike.

This year Frequency is all about Liberation. For our own ideas for a project we are supposed to look in to one of the three following area.

 Knowledge sharing:

Never before have we been able to step so completely into the lives of others. We
learn about each other via social media, the stories unfiltered by the established new
media portals. If knowledge is power then this transference of knowledge represents
democracy at work, shifting ownership and authorship from the few to the many.

The Enhanced imagination

Our imaginations have been turbo charged by the powerful digital tools at out
disposal. It took centuries for Da Vinci’s concepts of a parachute and a helicopter to
become physically possible. We have seen more accelerated and profound change
in a single generation.

The liberation of the Digital Human

Our minds and bodies, and the physical world are seamlessly intergrating with the
digital realm. We have transcended our physical limitations via the digital portal,
enhancing the vocabulary of the body, extending our senses, our real time social
reach.
