Performing Space
Register now for this event organized by Frank Abbott, School of Art and
Design, The Nottingham Trent University (22 February 2008). The event is
funded by the AHRC ICT Methods Network and is free to attend.
This hybrid event is aimed at researchers in humanities areas like
geography, architecture and urban studies and is an opportunity to lay the
basis for future collaborations and explore new research processes.
New types of communication networks based on wireless interactive ICT
technology are transforming our understanding of contemporary public and
private space.They are increasingly being explored by live media artist
through events like the Radiator Festival (Nottingham), First Play Berlin
and Dis-locate (Tokyo). Within other humanities subject areas new insights
into the changing nature of public space are being addressed.
The research aim of this hybrid workshop is to bring together a range of
humanities researchers and artists to examine how the common ground between
these disciplines can be developed through examining ICT wireless network
strategies borrowed from the work of artists; and conversely how the
development of research, particularly in the areas of geography and
architecture, can inform the artists` research and development.
