*apologies for cross postings* SYMPOSIUM Performativity | Place | Space: Locating Grid Technologies Thursday, 19 October 2006 11am-5.15pm Location: Convene at Graduate School of Education, University of Bristol, 4th Floor, 35 Berkeley Square, Bristol, http://www.bristol.ac.uk/university/maps/precinct.html. Organiser: Angela Piccini, Department of Drama: Theatre, Film, Television in collaboration with the Institute for Learning and Research Technology, Bristol's Centre for e-Research and the Graduate School of Education You are warmly invited to a symposium organised under the auspices of the AHRC e-Science Workshop scheme. The ‘Locating Grid Technologies’ workshops (June-October 2006) explored fragmentations of space-time in networked environments by: using the communications grid (InSORS Grid) as a telematic research environment and as a dissemination tool for other performance/media forms; using a range of software interfaces within communications grid events to record, annotate and retrieve ‘meetings’ (Memetic and PARIP Explorer); using Semantic Web to query that audio-visual archive in such a way as to facilitate its creative re-use in performance, in programmed installation environments and in virtual working environments. See <http://www.ahessc.ac.uk/wiki/bin/view/WorkShops/PerformativityPlaceSpace> for more information. The final event of this workshop series is a symposium, which takes place on Thursday, 19 October. This will comprise a series of 20-minute presentations (+ 10 minutes discussion) within an InSORS Grid environment, including: Michael Daw (Access Grid Support Centre, University of Manchester), 'Memetic, communications grid and the arts' Teresa Dillon (Polar Produce), 'The art of taggin': locative based performance and the construction of shared interpretations' Ale Fernandez and Nikki Rogers (Institute for Learning and Research Technology), 'Semantic Web and the arts' Angela Piccini (University of Bristol), 'Introduction: the e-Science agenda in the performing arts and media' Paul Sermon (University of Salford), 'Telematic installations and performance, from telephones to multi cast, practice based experience' We also expect contributions from: Yukihiko Yoshida (Japan Access Grid dance network) Prodromos Tsiavos (Creative Commons) Jon Wakelin (Bristol Centre for e-Research) Helen Bailey (University of Bedforshire) The aim of the symposium is to disseminate findings from the workshop series and to share work that others are doing in the broader area of networked creative practices in order to *demystify* the e-Science agenda and open up avenues for future research. The symposium is free to attend and lunch will be provided. Please confirm your place by return email by Monday, 9 October at the latest as places are limited.
