I have always been a fan of interdisciplinary concepts. I appreciate various types of art, but when combining different forms and crossing disciplinary boundaries, my attention is guaranteed one hundred per cent. At cultural centre Zebrastraat they obviously share my opinion, since the Liedts-Meesen Foundation organized the New Technological Art Award 2012, an international competition that is encouraging artists to use technical and scientific knowledge to realize their ideas. 337 artists from 49 countries worldwide sent in their works, from which 20 were nominated for the final voting round. The result can be seen at the UPDATE_4 BIENNIAL exhibition which takes place from 22 September til 18 November at three locations: eleven works can be seen at Zebrastraat in Ghent; to see the other nine you have to go to iMal and Ensav La Cambre in Brussels. Even if you are not an art, exhibition or museum person I'm quite sure you will enjoy this one, since the works of art presented at UPDATE_4 BIENNIAL are not a reaction to the world out there, but a dialogue in which the visitor has to participate. You can prepare your ride on the Euthanasia Coaster of Lithuanian artist Julijonas Urbonas, make your own animation film by creating frames and printing a retro cinema ticket thanks to Brazilian artist Marcio Ambrosio or relax watching the moving robotplants of French artist Aline Veillat. Voting for only one artist will not be easy!
