The Come Out 09 printed program and website are interactive and ask you to explore questions, provoking how you think, feel and respond to the festival theme of Colliding Worlds.

The world and everything that makes up the planet is in a constant state of collision. These collisions can be either positive or negative or both at the same time…

The sun collides with the earth… Humans collide with each other and themselves…

From these Colliding Worlds new challenges and opportunities arise. And with these challenges and opportunities new stories, new ideas, new art…

The Come Out 09 program and website offer you the opportunity to create these new stories.

You have probably already discovered that by turning the pages of this program you can create a series of new images which interact and collide with each other. There are many different combinations. However, with your assistance, we would like to build the biggest online version in the world!

By responding to the festival theme of Colliding Worlds we are inviting, and challenging the young people of South Australia to submit images - drawings, photographs, graphic illustrations, paintings - to help create a vast online art gallery.

The live automated online Come Out 09 Gallery will exhibit your images and intentionally ‘collide’ your images with other images from around South Australia and the world to create new Colliding Worlds.

From your home or school computer you can login and then upload your scanned or saved images via the Forced Collision upload page
