Glitch'd: Purposeful Mistakes
Edinburgh College of Art, University of Edinburgh
28th Aug 2013, 12:00-14:00 and 14:00-16:00

The glitch is the defect or malfunction; when technology misbehaves.
Distinct from noise, which corrupts information, the glitch affects the
decisions our technologies increasingly make for us, amplifying the outcome.
This one day event, encompassing promenade performance, an intelligent
search engine, technological demonstration, dance performance and
manipulated light installation, explores how interactive media art projects
can offer insights into the affects and effects of the glitch.
Participating artists: Richard Ashrowan; Simon Biggs/Sue Hawksley/Garth
Paine; Beverley Hood; Rocio Von Jungenfeld; Hadi Mehpouya/Robert Powell.
Rocio von Jungenfeld
Walk-itch
A media walk by Rocio von Jungenfeld. During a short indoor walk,
participants will have the opportunity to interact with portable projectors
and wireless cameras to explore the visual interferences and feedback loops
produced by the wireless transmission.
Richard Ashrowan
Catoptrica
A moving image laboratory in which live transformations are applied to films
of the four classical elements - fire, earth, air and water. Mirrors,
lenses, glass vessels and other objects are used to manipulate, layer and
transform, turning the projection environment into an alchemical experiment
in light.
Simon Biggs, Sue Hawksley and Garth Paine
Crosstalk
Crosstalk is an interactive work employing dance, 3D tracking, voice
recognition and multi-channel data-driven audio. Crosstalk explores the
generative potential of technologically mediated interaction in social
space.
Hadi Mehrpouya and Robert Powell
Philodox
The Philodox is an internet search engine with its own character, thoughts
and opinions. We will provide a demonstration and description of the
program, with an opportunity to converse with the Philodox itself.
Bev Hood
Glitching
Glitching is a digital dance performance inspired by the glitches of
characters in sports and action computer games. These awkward computer
generated movements are re-enacted, choreographed and embedded within a
'live' digital environment for performers and audience to interact with.
