Soul Seasons at Digital Graffiti
05.12.2013
Three years ago I heard about a little oasis in Florida called Alys Beach from friend and fellow artist Shantell Martin. Therein lies a very unique festival called Digital Graffiti which she has headlined (quite a few times) with her beautiful live-drawing performances.
Each year’s festival attracts digital artists, filmmakers, musicians, interactive designers, photographers, VJs, producers, celebrities, agency executives and fans of art, technology and architecture.
According to their website:
“Digital Graffiti is the world’s first projection festival featuring artists, using the latest technologies to project their original works onto the town’s iconic white walls.”
With nearly 200 submissions from countries including England, Portugal, France, Australia, Germany, Netherlands, Serbia, South Korea, Sweden, Japan, Cambodia, Poland, Ireland, India, Brazil, Spain, Taiwan, Iran, Ukraine and the USA, Alys Beach announced that my animation, Soul Seasons, is one of 23 finalists who will exhibit and compete at the Sixth Annual Digital Graffiti Festival.
Prizes will be awarded in various categories and judged by a panel of art and industry experts. The winning categories include Best of Show, Most Innovative, Most Experimental Submission, Best in Florida-Homegrown, Best Animated Submission and Curator’s Choice. All winners will be announced on the evening of June 8th at Caliza Pool.
I’m really looking forward to be a part of this festival, meeting the other artists and finally getting to check out the Alys Beach community. It’s not often you come across a festival that honors video artists in this way. Hopefully this type of event will inspire more like it to happen in the future.
Wish me luck with Soul Seasons, and check back for updates!

Holly Danger
Designer , Videographer, VJ. Slanted and Enchanted. Predictably unpredictable. Wide eyed wanderer. Beat junky traveler. Collage composer. Reiki healer. Burner. Sagittarian. Snowboarder. I need an art, travel & music fix every few weeks to stay alive. Sometimes the best conversation are when no words are said at all. Energy for energy is my mantra. Contrast, texture and eccentricity always catch my eyes. I’m completely obsessed with documenting the here and now, as well as what is and what was.
You probably know me as Holly Danger, though depending how well you know me, you’d know that it originates from Holly Diane Anger. I’m a Designer at heart, a Videographer & Editor by trade, and a VJ every moment in between. Here you’ll find a collection of thoughts, sketches, upcoming gigs, projects, and experiments, meant to inspire, to excite, to learn, to connect with other designers, and to collaborate ideas.
This is site is a collection of my video and visual artwork as well as a living journal of all things that I find inspiring in the world. You can keep up with me by joining my monthly email newsletter, checking out my Etsy Shop follow me on twitter and Facebook.
