Confluence is a ground-breaking digital arts and environment project.
Over the last year, a team of artists, Beaford Arts, the North Devon Biosphere, and i-DAT have been working with eight local schools to explore and understand our local environments surrounding the River Torridge:
Appledore Primary / Bideford College / Clinton Primary / Dolton Primary / East the Water Primary / Great Torrington Junior / Great Torrington School / Instow Primary.
At the festival, digital visualisations of artwork created by the pupils will be screened inside i-DAT’s 5 metre Inflatable Go Dome. Artworks and installations created using environmental data collected during the project will also be exhibited by the four project artists:
Antony Lyons / Jon Pigott / Simon Ryder / Simon Warner

Confluence…


Confluence is a new arts, technology and environment project being delivered by partners Beaford Arts, University of Plymouth’s i-DAT (Institute of Digital Arts and Technology), the North Devon Biosphere Foundation and Appledore Arts.
We’ll be working along the Torridge – in Dolton, Merton, Great Torrington, Bideford, East-the-Water, Appledore and Instow.
Schools and communities, alongside artists selected in a national application process, will develop new work about each place. They’ll be using environmental data collected live by i-DAT’s devices which will also appear in new ways online.
This autumn, there’ll be launch events with demonstrations and workshops. i-DAT and their 5-metre Inflatable Dome will be on show -drop in and see what we’ll be getting up to!
Confluence is supported by Arts Council England and Leader 4.
