GROK | FEBRUARY 19th – MARCH 6th 2009

Grok Institute curators Jean-Robert Saintil and Andrew McPhee are launching a new-format event featuring forward thinking digital art, light installations, video and music. The event itself is not a gallery, a gathering, an opening nor a clubnight; but rather a mix of all of the above that sits somewhere in between.

Grok will be launching on February 19th across 5 spaces in and around Carnaby Street, the Newburgh Quarter and Kingly Court in Central London.

The first event runs for 2 weeks and will feature brand new creations from Nanika’s Andreas Muller, installations by Creative review favs The Digital Club, More Soon’s Carl Burgess, Thomas Traum, Marc Kremers, Switzerland’s Sgis.ch, Amsterdam’s Harm van den Dorpal, Artist/Director Mitch Stratten, and Karborn.

The music will be provided by Drek Records head Secondo, Ditched Disco’s Guy Noir, Discombabulate's Laurence, Muravchix, the Grok Residents J Saintil and Andrew Lo-Train (Minimallondon) and Lightfoot.

Grok Institute’s aim is to give the enchantment of digtital art, music and technology a much needed platfrom where the digitally inclined can connect, inspire and collaborate on even newer and more demanding projects.

The 5 installation spaces will be changing and evolving throughout the 2 week period. There will also be a special Protein Forum where the artists will talk about their work, their inspirations and their methods.
