ARTS BY THE SEA By Hannah Gibbins

rts by the Sea took over the town earlier this month. The ‘New Frontier’ Atheme offered insight into a world overrun by technology and the impact that it has on human life. Many events displayed intergalactic worlds, aliens and technology being used in a way that is impressive to even the most experienced technophile. Silicon Shores by The Colour Project was highly anticipated event that launched the weekend; a phenomenal light show projected onto the town hall. The show addressed the impact of technology and plastics on the ocean, the show opened the minds of those watching in a totally unique way that set the tone for the week. The Gardens were overtaken by singing conjoined aliens, artists armed with spray cans and musicians of all kinds. There truly was something for everyone; kids sat in the sunshine and adults drank and listened to live music while at Picnic Park Sessions. The bandstand was never silent and the gardens were always lit by the beautiful weather, a screening or a light show. The whole thing truly was a spectacle. A wacky, dream-like display of lights and sounds, mind controlled cinema, time machines, caravans with astronauts inside. It truly was bonkers. Photos: Hannah Gibbins/Faith Rowley
