AIB’s Noonie had a chance to visit Figment Boston which was held on June 5 along Memorial Drive. This was Figments first Boston event which was and explosion of creative energy and art - open for all to view and enjoy. Below are some photos from Noonie's Figment adventure...
FIGMENT
is a forum for the creation and display of participatory and
interactive art by emerging artists across disciplines. FIGMENT began
in July 2007 as a free, one-day participatory arts event on Governors
Island in New York Harbor with over 2,600 participants. Since then,
FIGMENT has grown significantly each year—in number of projects,
duration, participants, volunteers, fundraising capability,
exhibitions, locations, overall level of commitment and participation,
and public support.
FIGMENT’s vision for art looks past the white-walled galleries and into
the realm of participation. Art is not just something that you stand
still and quietly look at – it is something you participate in. You
touch it, smell it, climb it, write on it, talk to it, dance with it,
play with it, learn from it… Interactive art creates a dynamic
collaboration between the artist, the audience and their environment.
