A tribute to Futurism and its prophetic exaltation of technology intended for the first time ever as inspiration and primary content of an artwork: this is the theme of the sixth edition of the Targetti Light Art Award, that is being launched in occasion of the hundredth anniversary celebration of Marinetti’s Futurist Manifesto.
The participants are asked to create a work of art using artificial light as both medium and content. This year they will start from new reflections on the extraordinary vitality of the technical-expressive concepts developed by the Futurists concerning the role that light can play in creating a work of art.
While respecting the formal criteria set out for the competition, the artists may use any material and technology and avail themselves of advice from Targetti’s experts to optimize the expressive power of light in their works.
To participate in the competition entrants must submit a sketch on paper along with a description of the planned work of art no later than July 3rd, 2009.
