Searching for a New Media Festival
TiNA is a great example of the high level of creative convergence we encounter these days atwhen we attend any good arts festival. What we see is spontaneous adoption of multiple digital platforms within all the artforms and an explosion of experimentation and boundary breaking. At the same time what possible models are there for contemporary cultural festival where risk taking and creating opportunities for new creative forms runs up hard against the logic of the box office and sticking to simple marketing formula? It’s complicated but something needs to change.
