>> What is 'media art'? Who is doing it and why? An eclectic group of
>> London
>> artists and designers working with technology explain all with
>> audio-visual presentations of their work in the Media Art Soapbox.
>>
>> Projects range from the sublime to the seemingly ridiculous. Mill over
>> growing spare organs for yourself in your pet, or consider the
>> 'architecture of buns'. Engage with a huge variety of questions,
>> interests
>> and approaches to media art: what would it be like to experience
>> colour in
>> the same way as a TV screen operates? How does the basic geometry of
>> the
>> earth change as we're getting closer to it from an airplane? Do
>> scientists
>> see the world differently because of the way they are trained to look
>> at
>> the world? What if mobiles phones were instruments of torture
>> inflicting
>> pain every time we disturb others? And isn't it time children's
>> stories
>> are adapted to suit the computer age?
>>
>> The participating artists will present in 3 groups of 4 under the
>> themes:
>> Observation and perception; Communication technologies and Social and
>> ethical
>> concerns. Art curators and critics Andrew Chetty and Piers Masterson
>> and
>> technologist Tom Quick will lead questions and debates following each
>> presentation group. The event will be convened by curator, Hannah
>> Redler.
