FLOW Fort Knox – Art • Water • Energy • History • Ecology
Mind-blowingly innovative New Media artist Gene Felice will join with a transdisciplinary array of artists, scientists, historians and local cultural groups to create a site-specific experience that will delight the senses and stimulate reflection. Another in his series of FLOW events (we used an image from a past event at the Bangor Thomas Hill Standpipe on our UMHC brochure – the image is above), Felice’s Coaction lab will collaborate with SCANZ 2017 Energy + Water (an organization exploring art, science, culture and technology) and others to create a multi-sensory / multi-perspective experience at the historic Fort Knox and Penobscot Narrows Bridge and Observatory in Bucksport, ME on June 24th 2017. Not to be missed!
FLOW Fort Knox is partially sponsored by a 2016 UMHC Faculty Grant Award received by Gene Felice.
From the event website: “FLOW is an event series produced by the Coaction lab in association with the Intermedia MFA and New Media undergraduate programs at the University of Maine. This event series is focused on water as a precious resource that connects and supports the diverse range of living systems on our planet. This years event is in collaboration with the SCANZ 2017 Energy + Ocean, international biennial and Intercreate, an organization exploring art, science, culture & technology. Last year’s event took place at the Thomas Hill Standpipe in Bangor ME and this years FLOW Fort Knox event will take place on June 24th 2017 at the historic Fort Knox and Penobscot Narrows Bridge and Observatory in Prospect ME, across the Penobscot Bay from Bucksport ME.”
