Our last stop for the STD EW traveling installation is back home, in the basement of Pe Baricade, in the middle of Bucharest.
Share, Tag or Dye is that place where social media meets the tangible. We invited the whole world into this, since social media can instrument it so easily (and we wanted the best of both worlds!). Through two sessions of open call, more than 400 people from all over the world joined our analogue social network and together we hacked the idea of open call. Now we reached the third edition with another 200 entries from all over the world. Together, we turned it into a beautiful collaborative platform that knows no gender, country, religion, medium and well, no preconceptions or judgements of any kind really. All who join us contributed with a link from their social media feeds, to be brought into matter using the cyanotype, a technique based on iron salts that are UV sensitive and yields a deep blue print. The end result is an immersive cyanotype installation much like an analogue and tangible feed.
The Opening is on 15 October at 20:00 at Pe Baricade, Radu Voda 23A.
