Scotland is a regular forum for those interested in art & technology to get together and look at each other's work. It builds on and into a well established international network http://www.theupgrade.org Wednesday 27th July at CCA sees a short talk by the critic Jack Mottram and presentations of recent and current works from Torsten Lauschmann and Jaygo Bloom and much opportunity for discussion. Torsten Lauschmann is a filmaker, audiovisual performer, software and installation artist who represented Scotland at the 2003 Venice Biennale.
