The HOTHAUS SERIES will provide a platform for artists, theorists and
curators to discuss current and pertinent issues within contemporary
media arts practice. The objective of the series is to create a
discursive forum for people interested in new forms of art, curation
and distribution.
The seminars will situate media arts within a wider context of
contemporary visual practice and highlight the crossovers between
media arts, science and popular culture. The series will be
contextualised through a programme of exhibitions, events and
performances.
Future seminars in the HOTHAUS SERIES will look at progressive
technologies, space and environment, commissioning and curation.
Future participants include Michelle Hirschhorn, Susan Collins, Axel
Roch, Helen Sloan and Ansuman Biswas.
Places are £25/20 including lunch. Seats are limited, to reserve a
place, or for further information call Vivid on 0121 233 4061 or email
