OBJECTS AND NEW TECHNOLOGIES
This two-day workshop will be run by Maria Dominguez Alba who is a painter and film-maker, and also Research Fellow at the University of Castilla-La Mancha in Spain.
This two-day laboratory will explore and create a multi-disciplinary dialogue between theatres of objects and puppets and new technologies. The workshop will focus practically and theoretically on the relationship between the object and new technology. It will also provoke reflection about identity and the body; of the individual's projection in a collective environment, and vice versa; virtual reality, fiction, the idea of presence, the concept of real time, tele-presence, the fragility of the technological medium and interaction.
WORKSHOP PARTICIPATION IS BY APPLICATION IN ADVANCE: please send your CV and a letter of application to cariad.astles@cssd.ac.uk by Tuesday 15 September 2009.
