Inter-arts

Inter-arts

Interdisciplinary and hybrid artists are transforming contemporary arts and audiences.

Experimenting across media, performance, spaces and networks, interdisciplinary artists generate new practices beyond existing artforms.

Through interdisciplinary collaboration, research and creative development, you can test ideas, technologies and art practices towards unexpected outcomes. You can work in new ways with science, industries and communities to push the parameters of art in the real and virtual worlds.

Australian hybrid artists are leading innovators. Experimenting with new technologies, performance and biology extends our bodies past science fiction. Inventing new interactive interfaces and ways of working with portable networked devices lets us all take a creative role. Developing new digital and online platforms builds novel spaces for artmaking and access. Forging collaborations across artforms and industries builds creative networks throughout Australia and internationally. Interdisciplinary and intercultural arts practices invite us to participate in new dialogues within communities and our environment.

Anything is possible.
