HYPE – FRÉNÉSIE #NBOG15
Deadline: 24 May 2015 at midnight.
Nuit Blanche Ottawa+Gatineau wants to know how you creatively occupy and define the HYPE space. The word HYPE brings the anticipation of excitement to the forefront of the brain while it also clearly identifies an experience, with individuals arriving at their own peak of expectations. This is the beginning of a hype cycle, which then roller coasters through disillusionment and rides back up the slope, to a space of productivity, durational engagement and acceptance. The night-time is a haven for these experiences. It is a space for experimentation and realization of bold & beautiful social innovations, new night economies, and it serves as a platform for a complex network of established cultures.
Within this post-internet era the sharing of personal HYPE experiences are made prolific across many means and the outcome of being a practicing artist within this space is an ability to exchange, receive feedback, improve, alter, edit and morph within a decentralized platform. It is a space to build new frameworks, a place for improvisation, and it is a space to question and develop original experiences. The pop-up nature of the night time festival also set’s the stage for art works to be experienced in new ways, for testing and playing with creative endeavours that are experienced individually, within niche communities, in crowds, and as waves of excitement that traverse public space. As a festival date approaches a community of citizens experience an escalating sense of stimulation; as an artwork inches closer to completion the artist rides the force of time controlling the outcome; and as an audience arrives at an event in numbers a surge of collective expectation is felt.
How do you tap into the bold and creative behaviour of the night-time and share that citizenship? What can the time-based landscape of the night help you to achieve? How can you individually, and we as a team of creative individuals, collectively influence the peak in the night and ride the cycle into the morning?

HYPE – FRÉNÉSIE #NBOG15
La date limite pour l’appel aux artistes est le 24 mai, 24h.
Cette année, NBOG veut savoir ce que le thème HYPE – FRÉNÉSIE évoque en vous et comment vous souhaitez l’aborder dans votre projet artistique. En plus d’évoquer un état de fébrilité qui nous envahit à l’approche d’un événement, le mot « frénésie » désigne parfaitement l’émotion ressentie lorsque nos attentes en sont à leur point le plus élevé. Ce point culminant marque le début d’un cycle comparable à un tour de montagnes russes où l’on vit toutes sortes d’émotions, de la désillusion à l’acceptation, en passant par la volonté d’engagement. La nuit est le terreau idéal pour l’expérimentation. Elle fait place à la réalisation de projets audacieux et grandioses en plus d’être propice à de nouvelles activités économiques nocturnes. Elle permet également la formation d’un réseau complexe entre différentes cultures bien développées.
En cette ère post-Internet, le partage massif d’expériences de HYPE – FRÉNÉSIE est rendu possible grâce à de nombreux moyens de communication. Ce nouveau contexte d’ouverture fait en sorte qu’il est désormais facile pour les artistes de partager leurs idées, d’obtenir une rétroaction de la part des gens, de modifier et d’améliorer leurs projets. La porte est ouverte à l’improvisation, à la création de nouveaux cadres de création, à la remise en question d’anciennes façons de faire et à l’innovation. L’aspect éphémère des festivals nocturnes fait en sorte que les œuvres d’art peuvent être appréhendées de différentes manières et qu’il est possible de mettre à l’essai de nouveaux projets de création qui susciteront des réactions qui varient d’une personne, d’un groupe ou d’une foule à l’autre, comme une série de vagues de fébrilité déferlant sur l’espace public. À l’approche d’un festival, les citoyens sont de plus en plus alertes, les artistes achèvent une course contre la montre pour parvenir à finaliser leur œuvre avec succès et, lorsque la foule de spectateurs se présente à l’événement, une effervescence collective se fait sentir.
Comment puiserez-vous dans l’audace et la créativité qui habitent la nuit pour contribuer à cette expérience collective? Qu’est-ce que l’évanescence de la nuit vous inspire? Comment pouvez-vous et comment pouvons-nous grâce à notre créativité parvenir à mener la nuit à son point culminant et à faire durer le cycle de la frénésie jusqu’au matin ?
