Backslash Festival
Description
Backslash Festival brings together electronic culture and visual arts. Backslash Festival has for vocation to create interactive artistic universes, joining a vision of the world, where technology offers new ways of considering and appropriating various creative art forms. Its main focus is to develop projects setting up transdisciplinary symmetries between video art, sound design, sound architecture, performance, interactive design and fine arts. The issue of social interactions generated by the artistic creation is a central element of Tokyo Data’s approach. Its projects aim to create a reaction from the audience and to integrate it actively into the creation process.The finality of this approach is to establish a dialogue replacing the contemplative role traditionally attributed to the audience.
Backslash Festival is inspired by a vision, where the contemporary urban environment is more than a simple space devoted to everyday life, and offers a frame to the dynamics traditionally found the confronted to an artwork. In this perspective, the city itself relates to an installation, where the audience would be the residents. Such a installation-city would play permanently with the perceptions of its inhabitants, overwhelming them with visual, audio, tactile or olfactory informations.

LOST AT LAST: Exhibition views
Backslash Festival's first edition included a video art exhibition titled "LOST AT LAST". The exhibition starred nine artists' works, including: - Dany Boulala (CH, 1991) - Christelle Becholey-Besson (CH, 1985) - Camille Kaiser (CH/FR, 1992) - Catia Lanfranchi (CH, 1990) - Nicolas Raufaste & Magali Dougoud (CH/FR, 1988 – CH, 1986) - Pierre Pauze (FR, 1990) - Maximilien Urfer (CH, 1980) - Yasmine Yahiatene (FR, 1990) - Purple Moustacho // Australian-based collective active since 2008 // Members: Jorge Mansilla (MEX, 1979) & Sissy Reyes (MEX, 1982) Within this exhibition, the collective showed its concern related to political and social issues. It expressed its ethical and aesthetic questioning through these selected video art works. The exhibition approach aimed to deepen the theme of cognitive saturation faced by individuals in our society. From this point of view, all the selected works examine the selectivity of our glances and the ability of the human mind to synthesize the overwhelming volume of information, solicited or not, to which he is confronted on a daily basis. Moreover, the exhibition asked the question of the gender and local identities within a frame we all know, the one of our postmodern overconnected western societies.
