STRP Festival – 24/25/26 March 2006 – Strijp-S Eindhoven
ART LOVES TECHNOLOGY!
STRP, a brand new festival in an incredible space. The first edition of the STRP Festival will take place from the 24th till the 26th of March 2006 in the former industrial area of Philips; Strijp-S. Numerous technological innovations took place at Strijp-S in the 20th century. For example, think of cassettes and CDs.
STRP is an unique festival at the intersection of art, technology and popular culture, bringing in elements from all art disciplines. Robots alongside DJ’s, lectures alongside interactive installations, cinema live shows. STRP uses these powerful aspects of art and technology to draw content into an approachable multidisciplinary pop festival. All this during three days from early in the afternoon till late at night.
STRP has formulated four themes for the festival that will shape the relationship between popular culture, art and technology into a provocative whole. Each theme is looked at from different angles and disciplines. Existing works will be shown as well as works conceived especially for the festival.
Nu-Live new forms of live electronic music performance where the special attention is paid to the performative aspect. One of the important program components in this theme is Live Cinema: a new way to present live image and sound within one performance.
Press "Start" gaming, interactive installations and playful art works, in which the public can take an active role in the experience and realization of the work. WE ARE THE ROBOTS focusing on a number of internationally renowned artists who work in the field of robotics.
RE - or 'the inheritance' using the rich history of this area as a starting point for artistic experiences.
STRP is based in the technological area of Eindhoven. Strijp-S, the characteristic industrial inheritance from Philips, forms the cradle of this region. On this spot revolutionary inventions which have had an enormous impact on several art forms, were realized. Electronic music composer Dick Raaijmakers completed the first electronic music album almost 50 years ago at Strijp-S. His work will be remixed by renown contemporary musicians from different scenes. The result of it is brought out on cd before the festival.
The important “Klokgebouw” (Clock building), with its impressive past and industrial irradiation, on Strijp-S forms the perfect setting for the festival. In four enormous halls you find a wonderful mix of state of the art robots, interactive installations, cutting edge video clips, refreshing live cinema, multimedia theatre, film premieres, thorough presentations, international top dj’s and live acts and many others.
