Confluence Project Launch

Thursday 29^th September 2011, 6pm-8pm, Bideford Pannier Market, Market Place, Bideford, Devon EX39 2DR

Confluence is a new arts, technology and environment project being delivered by partners Beaford Arts, the North Devon Biosphere Foundation, Appledore Arts and University of Plymouth’s i-DAT (Institute of Digital Arts and Technology).

The project artists, selected following a national application process, are working with schools and communities along the River Torridge in North Devon which lies within North Devon’s UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.  Using environmental data collected live by devices developed by i-DAT the four artists – Simon Ryder, Simon Warner, Jon Pigott and Antony Lyons – will work with the schools and on their own creating new artwork inspired by various sites along the river.

To launch this project we will be holding 3 roadshow community events. I-DAT and their 5 metre inflatable dome will be on show alongside an engaging and interactive display from the Biosphere Reserve Team.

We will be in Dolton Village Hall on Saturday 1^st October (11am – 4pm), the Learning Centre at RHS Rosemoor on Sunday 2^nd October (11am – 4pm) and at Instow Village Hall on Saturday 8^th October (11am – 4pm). Everyone is welcome to drop in and see what we will be getting up to!
