Miami, Florida’s III Points Art + Music + Technology Festival isn’t just a cutting edge music festival, it’s a state-of-the-art fully immersive arts experience. Bringing together visual art, music, film, technology, and more into a single multi-faceted conglomeration, III Points Festival is looking to bridge the gap between each medium and unite the world’s artists under a single crest.
Taking place in from Friday, October 9 through Sunday, October 11 in The Magic City’s Wynwood Art District, III Points promises to bring more than the standard music festival, and we couldn’t be more psyched for it.
With performances from Nicolas Jaar, Panda Bear, Neon Indian, Bonobo, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, Shigeto, Damian Lazarus & The Ancient Moons, AlunaGeorge, Toro y Moi, and more alongside a slew of top visual artists, filmmakers, tech leaders, etc. – III Points Festival is doing it big in 2015.
In order to help dive into the full scope of the ambitious gathering, we thought we’d dig a little deeper into III Points, going beyond the music and tackling the full experience.
If you’re on the fence about grabbing your ticket (or are just looking to see what’s out there for you to experience), here are 8 reasons why you can’t miss Miami’s III Points Festival:
Moog x Gramps Sound Lab
For all of you synth-heads, the Moog Sound Lab will head to Wynwood’s Gramps for all 3 days of III Points Festival. The Sound Lab will feature improvisational performances from III Points performers and other special guests as well as give you the opportunity to interact with Moog’s analog synths and processors. Oh, and by the way, it’s free!
AdHoc Cinema Presents Matinee Affair(s)
AdHoc Cinema will curate an ongoing community-based arts program at III Points, bringing their multi-media approach to community involvement that’s definitely not something to pass up. With the goal of fostering inner-city involvement in film, AdHoc Cinema will showcase a film screening of Stéphanie Argeric’s “Bloody Daughter”, David Tudor’s Rainforest IV activation, and more.
Wake, Bake, and Revive Yoga
Keep your mind and body in tune by kicking your day off with a rejuvenating yoga session to the sounds of Will Buck. Held at the famous Wynwood Walls, we can’t think of a better way to kick off your Saturday start to III Points. Can you?
Filmgate Presents StoryCode Brunch
StoryCode is an “open-source, global community for emerging and established cross-platform and immersive storytellers”. Filmgate Interactive will host the StoryCode Brunch, allowing you to take a break, grab some food, and connect with the local creative tech community through presentations The TM Sisters and Obsolete Media Miami.
Artist Boot Camp
Bringing a local focus to the the festival, III Points is geared to encourage local artist participation to further Miami’s local art scene by providing outlets for local artists to increase exposure and network at this year’s event.
Future Classic Label Barbecue
Having worked with Flume, Holy Ghost!, Chet Faker, Chrome Sparks, Hayden James, Toro Y Moi, and more – Future Classic is quickly becoming household name in the music world. To take things to the next level, Future Classic has organized a label showcase and barbecue on Saturday, October 10 at III Points. Beats and barbecue? Yes please.
Experimental Instruments
Moonlight Miami will lead attendees through a workshop to create and use expiremental instruments at III Points. What’s to be expected is anyone’s guess, but just the sound of it is so mind-blowing that we’re already all in, are you?
The Mind-Blowing Music
Lest we forget that amidst all of the multimedia shenanigans at III Points there will still be performances from top international, national, and local artists throughout the entire weekend. Catch Nicholas Jaar dropping a 3-hour DJ set, Bonobo throwing it down on the 1’s and the 2’s, chillwave progenitor Toro Y Moi kicking his distinct blend of melody and harmonium, or any combination of the nearly 100 performers at III Points 2015. Sound good? We thought so.
You know you can’t miss this.
