WISH YOU WERE HERE
Seymour at Kinnernet Europe 2017
June 22-25, 2017
Avallon, France
 
 
We are pleased to announce that we will curate a project for the 2017 edition of Kinnernet Europe.
 
We have chosen to recreate one of the environments from the SEYMOUR+ space.
 
Wish You Were Here will be a site-specific installation that invites attendees to enter into a timeless space in which they can communicate their thoughts and emotions via letter writing. Those who choose to engage with this space will decide whether they want their letters to be preserved or mailed.
 
In alignment with this year’s Kinnernet theme: What does not change?, this offering will be a gentle reminder of the human need for meaningful connection to self and others.
 
The Imagination Festival – Kinnernet-Europe – is a wild out of the box, irreverent, bottom-up innovation, creativity and cultural unconference created in 2013. The festival gathers 200 innovators and creators from all disciplines (science, business, technology, media, education, art, environment, social) and geographies (US, Europe, Israel and Asia). Their mission : meet, share their visions and invent desirable futures together. The festival mixes in-depth conversations, debates, workshops, but also creative and artistic moments. “Kinnernet gathers innovators and some of the most interesting people working in the media, art, technology or creative industries for a two days unconference.”
