Winchester Centre for Global Futures in Art Design & Media
Global Futures Seminar
Future Guides for Cities: Michelle Teran
25 April @ 4.30pm in seminar rooms 8-9 Graphics Building, WSA
Michelle Teran is a Canadian-born visual artist, whose practice explores media, performance and the urban environment. Her work critically engages media, connectivity and perception in the city. Her performances and installations repurpose the language of surveillance, cartography and social networks to construct unique scenarios that call conventional power and social relations into question. She explores the interaction between media and social networks in urban environments, creating site-specific performance and urban interventions that explore the relations between the self-production of media and city. Her interests are the spatial and social constructions of the relationship between private and public, the ‘visual economy’ of images, performing through media and the politics of observation and of the encounter.
Michelle Teran explores the interaction between media and social networks in urban environments. She develops performances via the staging of urban interventions such as guided tours, walks, open-air projections, participatory installations and happenings.
During her talk she will give an overview of some of her artistic works and discuss "Future Guides for Cities", a 3-year research project currently being developed at the Bergen Academy of Art and Design.
She is the winner of the Transmediale Award 2010, the Turku2011 Digital Media & Art Grand Prix Award, Prix Ars Electronica honorary mention (2005, 2010) and the Vida 8.0 Art & Artificial Life International Competition.
The talk will be chaired by Dr Jussi Parikka, Senior Fellow at the Winchester Centre for Global Futures in Art Design & Media. It will be very interesting for all those interested in the digital world and performance art.
