NETWORKED NARRATIVE ENVIRONMENTS
as imaginary spaces of being

23.05.03
10.30 - 17.00
The Box @ FACT Media Centre Liverpool

A one-day symposium investigating how emerging media forms are
inspiring new models of audience participation and production of
content. The event features contributions from leading international
artists, writers and curators as well as demonstrations of key
artists' projects and initiatives relating to the theme.

Concept: Andrea Zapp, AHRB Research Fellow, Manchester Metropolitan University

Speakers:
Susan Collins
The Slade School of Fine Art London
Manfred Fassler
Johann Wolfgang Goethe University Frankfurt/Main
Erkki Huhtamo
University of California Los Angeles
Margarete Jahrmann
Academy for Art and Design Zurich
Paul Sermon
University of Salford
Andrea Zapp
Manchester Metropolitan University

The event is chaired by Eddie Berg, Executive Director of FACT

Via various forms of audio-visual communications, from chat protocols
to immersive telepresence, artists are using a wide range of
technologies to explore this new narrative space as an exchange
between the public and digital zone. Human presence is increasingly
subject to a constant flow of contributions, material and data. How
does this reposition our collective understanding of both the
physical and the virtual, as well as the real and the imaginary?

The symposium will be streamed via the Internet to the Holden Gallery
at MMU in Manchester where a related exhibition takes place from 22
May - 5 June.
An illustrated documentation, to be published in October 2003, will
extend the talks and research on the cutting edge of art and the new
audience role in the network.
