At the interface between subculture and high culture, CAMP sees itself as a platform for creativity and innovation in the interplay between music, sound art, performance, dance, and visual music. The artist collectives are the centerpiece of the festival. In small groups, artists engage in dialogues for developing interdisciplinary projects and stage them in public performances at the end of the CAMP. This gives rise to performances in which sound, movement, language, and images intertwine. Each of these projects is unique in its goals, production, and presentation.
A key feature of the collectives is that all the artists involved are treated as equals. There are no conductors, producers or dramaturgs directing the projects. As a result, work in the collectives focuses not only on what the artists create, but also on how they create it – addressing issues such as the social and psychological conditions under which art is created, how democratic principles can be put into practice in an artist collective, and how even extreme positions can be represented.
