Shadow Casters is a network of several custom made urban projects united by similar methods, principles and visions in a specific creative exploration of different cities of the world. Each city is a territory to be read and re-mapped (re-semantisized) by an international Shadow Casters crew that joins professionals from various fields – from arts and architecture, to music and science – and of different generations, in order to conceive an interactive multifaceted and multi-centered performance voyage/research.
Short History of the Shadow Casters project:
Conceived by Boris Bakal as an urban hyper-textual treasure-hunt project, already in 1998. for New York (as Orchestra Stolpnik production) and inspired by Paul Austers work, Shadow Casters has been first launched in Zagreb, Croatia, with its first phase in July 2001., as a part of the International Urban Festival. It was followed by the first phase in Bologna, Italy in December 2001., within the International Festival of Urban Arts and New Media Hunting Season, then in Graz, Austria (Forum Stadtpark – preparations & video work – April 2002.); Ljubljana, Slovenia (Exodos Festival, May 2002.) and Belgrade, Serbia (REX-B92Cultural Center & CENPI, September 2002.). Shadow Casters Zagreb Phase II took place again within the frame of Urban Festival in the summer of 2002. (June/July). In July 2003., Shadow Casters (Eventure) was launched in New York, in co-production with Dancing in the Streets association and support by The Kitchen, ArtsLink, Trust for mutual Understanding and Columbia University. In May and June 2006. in Pisa (Costellazione, Ipse Dixit – Shadow Casters Pisa) the project was devised and performed as a final event of the EU project dedicated to Galileo Galillei – Sidereus Nuncius.
