This is Not Art: Newcastle, NSW 29 Sep - 3 Oct
"This Is Not Art is a national festival of new media and arts held in Newcastle each year over the October long weekend. Since its humble beginnings in 1998, it has become one of the leading arts festivals in Australia dedicated to the work and ideas of communities not included in other major Australian arts festivals.
It is a convergence point for communities of creative people practicing and learning in a range of art and new media forms including writing, hip hop, digital arts, electronic music, design, environmentalism and student media. The program includes the festivals Electrofringe, the National Young Writers’ Festival, National Student Media Conference, Sound Summit and other projects.
Through the festival we look in on our world and rethink and imagine what it can be through the usage of technologies, humour, media and art.
Each year the festival brings together over 400 young writers, arts workers, activists, media makers, electronic and hip hop musicians, digital and sound artists and visual artists to participate in over 200 events. Artists come from Hunter Valley, across Australia and from overseas, to showcase their work, network and develop new skills and projects. Each year between 2 and 3 thousand people travel to Newcastle to attend the event, alongside tens of thousands of Novocastrians.
Festival activities include panels, hands on workshops, showcases, night time concerts, public art installations, exhibitions and online forums.
This year’s festival takes place from 29th September until 3rd October 2005.
Since its inception, the This Is Not Art festival, has been hosted by the Octapod Association."
