Make some art!
How do you interpret space? Does the word conjure images of vast galaxies and far off planets? Or does it mean something smaller for you, like a welcoming room or the distance between friends?
The concept of space has always been something that sparks imaginations and brings about feelings of both wonder and familiarity, and nothing brings both of those feelings together quite like a burn.
From giant planetary artworks to tight hugs, Interfuse is always filled with crazy interactions of space! The principles of immediacy, participation, and communal effort have always made this large community a place unlike any other. What better way to showcase this unique feeling than to take it to the extreme!
Come get lost in space with Interfuse 2018, and at the same time, find your way home.
