Part outdoor interactive arts exhibit, grassroots community arts festival and social experiment, FIGMENT Geelong is an arts event like no other. FIGMENT Geelong is you and the rest of the community coming together in a gigantic free arts event in Johnstone Park, Friday March 21 and Saturday March 22, 2014. The essential FIGMENTal difference is you bring the art, you make the art and you experience the art.
Our mission is to provide a forum for the creation and display of participatory and interactive art from emerging artists in a variety of disciplines ranging from sculpture to visual art to music, performance, and multidisciplinary work: FIGMENT is your chance to make Geelong a little brighter.
FIGMENT is a place to test and shatter the boundaries of our realities. FIGMENT accepts no corporate sponsorship or advertising and is completely run off the steam of volunteer magic and mayhem. Check out my favourite FIGMENT video, this video of last year's Geelong event or this fabulous promo video to really get the idea.
FIGMENT Geelong is made up of interactive art of all mediums from local, regional and international artists. From interactive installations to participatory performance, games, costuming, activities, sound, illumination, projection and fire art, workshops and anything else you can dream up. FIGMENT Geelong showcases a diverse range of interactive and collaborative works with a special emphasis on interactive light, projection and illumination art for the 2014 event. Selected works will highlight the 11 principles that FIGMENT Geelong is based on.
Expressions of Interest for FIGMENT Geelong 2014 closed 1 March 2014 (but if you have an idea that doesn't need vehicle access or power, you can bring it on the day renegade style - but we'd appreciate an email (info(at) figment.org.au) just to know what's going to happen in the park).
At FIGMENT, everyone is an artist and through the arts we build community.
FIGMENT Geelong is a grassroots effort, organized and run entirely by really funny, attractive and talented volunteers who love Geelong and making magic happen.
