Artist Statement:

dLux MediaArts brings to ISEA2013 the inaugural MEMEBRAIN Art Hackfest. dLux MediaArts is partnering with Dorkbot (Sydney), Darwin Community Arts (Darwin), Kulchajam (Byron Bay) and The Portals (Darwin and Sydney), to bring together artists, designers, techies and more in a cross-locational Hackfest. Collaborators are invited to explore the participatory nature of technology and art. In a unique hot house environment, creative teams will design, play and build prototype projects that challenge the way we use art and digital media to affect cultural perceptions. MEMEBRAIN Art Hackfest will provide an important opportunity for the local Sydney community, partner locations in Darwin and Byron Bay, and ISEA2013 delegates to engage in momentous electric exchange in a casual, entertaining and social atmosphere. The general public are invited to interact with the projects online throughout the hack, through large urban screens in Darwin and Sydney, as well as join the teams on the final day for a closing exhibition and live performances.
