LIV_ID [an artist run collective] acts as organizer, curator, researcher, maker, producer and artist. Collectively we position art as disruptor, experiment and pause for thought. Connecting maker and crowd, we aim to facilitate dialogue beyond typical art world boundaries. Creating new experiences for new audiences through encounter we encourage audiences to consume, explore and entertain interruption. Facilitated projects blur the boundaries of new-media, performance, research and installation art.
