Members of Metahub BE, UK and CH spent a week in residence at a studio in Brussels to develop concepts and methods in preparation for Brussels Nuit Blanche 2012 this October. The session culminated in a public viewing, which you can see a time lapse of here.

Nuit Blanche (which means “sleepless night” or “white night” in French), is a cultural event that is both artistic and popular. This 9th edition of the event in Brussels aims at (re)discovering or (re)conquering this urban environment from a new perspective.

It is a night to get together, to share unusual and creative aspects of the contemporary creative scene in a warm and festive atmosphere that encourages discovery and wonder.

The Metahub will present an interactive audio-visual installation that encourages the public to share their own media content (videos, photos and sounds) via their smart-phones and engage in real-time interactions using social-network platforms.

An international team of artists (BE,CH,UK) from the Metahub Association explore how we use todays technology to share information, experiences and emotions; and how these new modes of communication are pushing the boundaries of how we interact in a digital social environment. Furthermore, how we can apply these ideas in multi-disciplinary artistic collaboration.

We’re inviting you to generate content for the Metahub. We want you to create video records that capture the atmosphere of Nuit Blanche and send it to our team of VJs for display on the Metahub.
