Kinetica Art Fair opened its doors to the public yesterday, now in its fourth year, it is the only art fair that is dedicated to Kinetic, electronic and new media art. This year Kinetic brings 45 exhibitors from countries all over the world. I went along yesterday to get a sneak peak at the action.

Showcasing a special feature exhibition called ” Art of Universe of Knowledge: Time, Transformation and Energy” alongside a four day programme of talks and performances and this year for the first time they are showing the Musion Academy MAMAs Awards, which award the best holographic audio visual performances, using the Musion holographic system. The mesmerising performances play with the viewers perceptions of reality challenging the nature of the cinematic experience to create works that are alluring and beautiful.

There has been an growing interest in the fusion of science, technology and art over the years. In conversation with Tony Langford, co-founder of Kinetica Art Fair he said “We’ve seen the contemporary art world take notice more in what we are doing, conceptually there’s a lot to see in the work, the artists are using the technology to show what they’re thinking about the world we are living in”.

As a viewer it will reconfigure how you see the world around you, with interactive works that make the unimaginable a reality.

Check out a few images of what to expect, This is not to be missed!
