We are also delighted to announce Digifest 2022, our annual week of workshops and activities from Saturday 22nd to Friday 28th October set to inspire you to explore creativeness through the ever-growing digital world. Taking inspiration from our new exhibition; ‘Receiver’, we aim to develop artistic ideas through moving image, music and sound.
Receiver recognises the increasingly vibrant developments within contemporary art practice that uses experimental sound and broadcast, as well as highlighting the renewed importance of these mediums to connect communities in the digital age. Bringing together four artists who consider sound in relation to innovative technologies, placemaking and environmental concerns, through new commissions that explore Essex’s historic and current relationship with broadcasting pioneering audio technologies, the movement of people and cultures, and the unique soundscapes of its coastline and estuaries.
