Details
The symposium is a showcase of research projects by the Centre's staff and postgraduate
researchers. The theme of these wide-ranging presentations is the tendency of media to escape
from the traditional boxes of the computer and TV and become multimodal, physical and
pervasive.
This symposium will be of value to anyone in industry or education who needs to consider our
relationship to media and technology.
The programme is currently being finalised. In one day it will cover an exceptional range including
practice-based research, design and art, the use of historical and futuristic research methods,
offering a thought-provoking insight into the future. Guests will be very welcome to engage in
dialogue about the work.
Presentations are expected to include:
+ Ihnatowicz and onward: the past and future of robotic art
+ Talking and singing to computers
+ Dancing with technology
+ Eye-tracking the film viewer
+ The margins of the city: an artist collaborates with social scientists in the Vivacity2020 project
+ Film as performance
+ Location-sensitive radio
Refreshments
A light buffet lunch and teas, coffees etc will be provided.
Accommodation
No accommodation is provided. There are a few hotels in the area, but it is also easy to travel by
London Underground train from central London to Oakwood or Cockfosters stations or to
