Theme: Matters of Facts
Fake news, alternative facts, virtual realities… Media that were meant to connect us are taking on a life of their own. They blur borders between the actual world and its image and they answer questions about true or false with the loudest voice or strongest image. Our workshops this year offer a reality-check. They dip your hands into matter, confront ancient knowledge with high-tech, engage you with innovative companies and let you connect to real people – here and now!
Terms and Conditions for our competition are:
- Select amongst the workshops of our 2018 season (www.boisbuchet.org) the one in which you wish most to participate.
- You are at least 18 years old and inscibed as student in a European university.
- Identify among your own (realised or imagined) creations one which best interprets the theme « Matters of Fact » defined here above.
- Send us before June 5th (before midnight) an email to info@boisbuchet.org containing up to 4 pages in a pdf format (in high as well as in low definition) showing your (realised or imagined) creation and captioned in either English or French. There are no further restrictions.
