Radiator and Digital Cultures Symposium on Performance, Dance, and
Technology Art

2 - 4 Dec 2005 Nottingham / Fri & Sat 10am  – 6.30pm / Sun 10am – 4pm



Theme


This three day international symposium aims to bring into focus artistic
practices of live performance that make use of digital technology in the
form of lens-based, networked or locative media. Due to the abundance and
accessibility of previously unaffordable technologies, new possibilities
have been experimented with and new practice has developed. Real time
transmission of observable, transcodable data and the ability of extending
the reach of one's hand across the globe have created entirely new stages on
which artists can play. At the same time, new techniques have extended body
perception through the sensory apparatus of the computer creating new
physicalities to explore.



With this the simultaneity of space has evaporated and so performer and
audience can be separated by day and night, by outside and inside, by
mountains of geographic data. On a global stage, artists from different
geographies can enter transcontinental collaborations raising the question
of how the digitisation of the arts has transformed cultural traditions and
practices. The symposium will bring together leading practitioners,
developers, scientists and theorists from the disciplines that make up new
media performance including live art, locative and pervasive media,
telematics, performance and dance, wearable, sensor based and cybernetic
technologies.



The symposium is a collaboration between the Radiator Festival for New
Technology Art (Miles Chalcraft and Anette Schäfer, Trampoline) and the
Digital Cultures Lab of Nottingham Trent University (Johannes Birringer).
