Design for Performance & Interaction Live

About

Design for Performance & Interaction Live will share the work of Design for Performance and Interaction MArch graduating students whose projects range from robotic installations to kinetic art, from immersive virtual environments to wearable technologies, and from audio-visual installations to proto-performances. These projects are produced as a part of the radical, transdisciplinary Design for Performance & Interaction MArch programme at The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL. Design for Performance and Interaction welcomes students from various artistic, technical, or scientific backgrounds, challenging them to work critically with interactive technologies to consider space, objects, people, and systems as potential performers.  

Design for Performance & Interaction Live will be held at Here East and is an opportunity to celebrate students’ work as an open event. Members of the creative and architectural industries, other students, staff, family, friends, and the local Hackney Wick community are all invited to interact and engage with projects in the environment where they were designed. Students will be present to demonstrate their work and discuss the potential of their projects beyond their studies. 

Visitors can attend any time between 13:00 – 17:00 to see live demonstrations and performances at UCL Here East. 

The Bartlett Fifteen Show

The Bartlett Fifteen Show is a public exhibition celebrating fifteen months of innovative work by graduating Design for Manufacture MArch, Design for Performance & Interaction MArch and Situated Practice MA Master’s students. The work exhibited is diverse and forward-thinking, exploring and creating new forms of practice. The exhibition will include films, performances, structures and ephemera.

For the first time, the show will span both The Bartlett School of Architecture's east London campus, UCL Here East – where the three programmes are based – and its central London campus, 22 Gordon Street. A parallel digital show will be hosted on our award-winning virtual exhibition platform at bartlettarchucl.com.
