Casa Jasmina is already in orbit waiting for its special guests.

This is the eleventh consecutive year for the Italian electronic art fair SHARE FESTIVAL. SHARE FESTIVAL is a cross-disciplinary platform for the promotion of contemporary art and culture in all its creative forms.

The headquarter of the 2016 edition of SHARE FESTIVAL will be Casa Jasmina, the perfect place for SHARE that has moved directly into the means of production for Italian digital art and crafts.

Hosted in the post-industrial building that Casa Jasmina shares with Fablab Torino and Officine Arduino, this year edition sounds great with the theme “House guests”. SHARE will take place in May and immediately followed by the Torino Mini Maker Fair with its lively burst of digital.

With a ten days exhibition, Share Festival will show in May the six artworks chosen by its jury from around the world, exhibited at Fablab Torino and Casa Jasmina spaces.

Casa Jasmina will also host a special show of artworks chosen from SeditionArt.com. SeditionArt is a new commercial gallery for code art and media art, where screen display rights to limited-edition electronic works can be privately collected, purchased, and traded online.

For this edition SHARE decided to invite as jury members two special guests: Cap. Samantha Cristoforetti and Paola Antonelli

Captain Samantha Cristoforetti is an European Space Agency astronaut, engineer and design enthusiast. Paola Antonelli, born in Sardegna, is the Senior Curator of the Department of Architecture & Design as well as the Director of R&D at MoMA New York. Paola Antonelli was responsible for adding video games, the Arduino control board and innovative 3DPrinted objects to the NY MoMA’s permanent design collection.

The jury is completed by Chiara Garibaldi, the SHARE Festival director, Jasmina Tesanovic, widely known as “the Jasmina of Casa Jasmina,” and American author Bruce Sterling, curator of the event.
