[node-l] Abandon Normal Devices, FACT Liverpool

[Heather Corcoran]

Hi NODE.Londoners -

We're launching an amazing festival of new cinema and digital culture 
here at FACT next week - 23-27 September - more info below. From art 
heroes Krzysztof Wodiczko (straight from Venice, first project in the UK 
since the 80s) and Carolee Schneeman (new performance!) to The Yes Men's 
first European solo retrospective exhibition, to some of my favorite 
young net artists (Oliver Laric, Guthrie Lonergan), alongside familiar 
London locals (newly commissioned film by Jamie King) - there is a 
massive amount of stuff happening. Liverpool is only 2 hours train from 
Euston - I hope some of you will take the rare opportunity to see such a 
spectacular lineup of media art and film culture so close to home. Have 
a look through the website to grasp the full scale...

See you there,
Heather

The debut edition of Abandon Normal Devices, festival of New Cinema and 
Digital Culture, is now less than two weeks away. Featuring an eclectic 
array of exhibitions, film screenings, online work and events, the 
festival will spill from screens and galleries onto the streets of the city.

Expect artists and filmmakers offering striking new perspectives in a 
festival that questions the normal and champions a different approach.

Schneemann, Nic Roeg, Phil Collins, Jamie King, and the conference 
Real-Time: Showing Art in the Age of New Media.

Join us in abandoning your normal devices, to celebrate new strategies 
and tactics in cinema and digital culture that challenge expectations 
and open opportunities for change and growth. Full programme is online
