The aim is to focus on models of practise and the practical issues of creating new media spaces, rather than a discussion of general conceptual issues about the relationship between new media art and architecture. The discussion will address: … Creating flexible architectures … Dealing with audience learning curves … Working with the vocabulary of existing architectures … Technical infrastructures - creating and maintaining innovative systems … Play - linking artistic practise to entertainment culture … Beyond 'contemporary art' - placing new media work in a larger context … Public art - linking the gallery to the city … Creating 'rehearsal spaces' … Dealing with different attention requirements in the same space … Integrating interactive and non-interactive work There is no charge for admission, but please RSVP to Matt Locke if you want to attend - [log in to unmask] The Media Centre is very close to Huddersfield train station, with regular express trains from Leeds, York, Manchester, Liverpool, Newcastle & Hull.
