Installation, Performance & Interactivity (IPI) is an interdisciplinary art and
design laboratory which explores the intersection of art & technology in service
of potent contemporary concepts and themes. IPI Festival 2007 examines FEAR in
it's many guises, from social discomfort and personal phobia to political
upheaval and global threat. The audience can expect an adventurous exhibition
staged in 3 simultaneous locales including an ambitious architectural "mash-up"
between a high-tech detention center and sophisticated cyber-cabaret, an
international video and net-art exhibition and interactive installations,
performances and music theater events.

The IPI project, directed by Moving Image Arts professor David Stout, is an
exuberant triennial art & technology exhibition created by student and alumni
collaborators from visual art & design, contemporary music, creative writing,
theatre, moving image arts, science and humanities at the College of Santa Fe.
Renown media critic and historian, Gene Youngblood, has observed that the
"I.P.I. project is without equal on any campus in the United States. The
ambitious scale of this work, its technical and artistic scope, complexity and
vision, are simply amazing".

Three Exhibitions, Three Days, Three Locations:

1. THE GAUNTLET architectural mash-up between a human detention center and
nightclub
friday, 5pm-midnight / saturday, 3pm-midnight
Studio One (located adjacent to The SCREEN on the College of Santa Fe campus)

The Gauntlet fuses an experimental art and technology exhibition with a roster
of in your face entertainment, music and moving image. Imagine a Nightclub
designed by the Home-Land security experts and you will get an inkling of this
tongue in cheek spectacle. The Gauntlet is an interactive Installation
Environment inspired by the now ubiquitous practices of personal profiling,
biometric data gathering, identity theft, interrogation, sensory manipulation,
isolation, psycho-sexual intrusion, conspicuous consumption, viral marketing,
and aggressive evangelical campaign strategies. Artists include Pushy Madeline
Minx from San Francisco, industrial art-steel guitarist William Fowler Collins,
Santa Fe's own 3D sound and image sensation NoiseFold, Paul Collins of Beirut
fame, and many more.

2. SAFE HOUSE immersive interactive media installations
friday, 5pm-7:30pm / saturday, 3pm-7:30pm
CSF Fine Arts Gallery

"Safe House", is a group show of Interactive Installation works, which explore
the contemporary undercurrent of Fear. Utilizing a wide array of mediums, from
electronic sensing, performance tableaux, sculpture, video and sound, the "Safe
House" artists amplify personal phobias, reflect upon militaristic postures and
immerse themselves in terrorist scenarios. In this exhibit, FEAR becomes an
object and obstacle. "Safe House" is a serious, contemplative yet kid friendly
exhibition. Gallery viewers may choose to stand at a safe distance or jump in to
this highly participatory "hands-on" experience.

3. CONTRA FRONTERAS international net-art exhibition
friday, 5pm-midnight / saturday, 3pm-midnight
CSF MOV-iN Gallery (www.mov-in.org)
curated by CSF Professor, David Stout

Contra Fronteras is an international exhibit of Net-Art that explores the power
of the internet to bridge cultural boundaries and leap today's often violent
borders. The selected web-based works include short films, interactive
photography, drawing, sound-art, and text to create a multi-layered experience
of life lived in turbulent times. Participating artists include Hasan Elahi
(USA), Albert Heta (Kosovo), Mazen Kerbaj (Lebanon), Cynthia Madansky
(USA/Palestine) and Alex Matzke (USA/Israel).
