Creators Project

In general, we like art, we like technology, and we like massive installations. I know this because our society consumes massive amounts of music, movies, fashions, video games, etc. (art), gadgets, electronics (roughly speaking, technology), and festivals, conventions (from Bonnaroo to EEE, and everything in between).

When two purveyors of art, Vice magazine, and technology, Intel join forces to create the third, a festivalvention (mine), one is curious (by assumption of the first sentence). Behold, the Creators Project:

The Creators Project is a new network dedicated to the celebration of creativity and culture across media, and around the world. At a time in the history of the arts where digital technologies have revolutionized distribution, democratized access, and completely re-imagined the scope and scale with which an artist can create a vision and reach an audience, The Creators Project is a completely new kind of arts and culture channel for a completely new kind of world.

, in their words.

While the project itself is an ongoing online installment, five live exhibitions will occur over this summer in New York, London, Sao Polo, Seoul and Beijing.

Obviously, I'm piqued. When you see the line-up( some highlights: Diplo, N.A.S.A., Spike Jonze) I'm sure you will be too.

This could be marginal or this could be epic. But probably something between the two.
