Performing Space
Register now for this event organised by Frank Abbott, School of Art and
Design, The Nottingham Trent University (22 February 2008). The event is
funded by the AHRC ICT Methods Network and is free to attend. This hybrid
event is aimed at researchers in humanities areas like geography,
architecture and urban studies and is an opportunity to lay the basis for
future collaborations and explore new research processes. New types of
communication networks based on wireless interactive ICT technology are
transforming our understanding of contemporary public and private space.
They are increasingly being explored by live media artist through events
like the Radiator Festival (Nottingham), First Play Berlin and Dis-locate
(Tokyo). Within other humanities subject areas new insights into the
changing nature of public space are being addressed. The research aim of
this hybrid workshop is to bring together a range of humanities researchers
and artists to examine how the common ground between these disciplines can
be developed through examining ICT wireless network strategies borrowed from
the work of artists; and conversely how the development of research,
particularly in the areas of geography and architecture, can inform the
artists` research and development.
