Theorie Cum Praxi
A one day workshop on the materiality of AV theory-practice in Fine Art PhD research.
10-16.30, 15th February 2008, Slade Research Centre, Woburn Square, London [register with Zara]
Topics for consideration include: How is the practice-theory relation in Fine Art constituted? Is the field of Fine Art becoming inseparable from computational media? Is there a need to make a distinct category ‘AVPhD’? If the paradoxical age of theory/practice is indicative of a time of deep change, how do we respond? For the Fine Arts, how are advancements (however defined) or radical practices made within institutions and how do these relate to the world of Fine Art more broadly? In the immaterial domains of electronic media, what kinds of methodological frameworks are Fine Art PhD candidates currently using? If a PhD is about a field of study for future research in a practice related PhD, what type of encoding or software may be the best for artistic research? (In light of questions of obsolescence, the archive and conservation). Is the whole idea of art in the age of the cultural industry an anachronism?
Virtual technologies and environments offer exciting opportunities at the cutting edge of contemporary practices – in Fine Art, in Design and in Education.
Interface: Virtual Environments in Art, Design and Education , 6th & 7th of September, 2007, in Dublin, seeks to bring together a range of outstanding practitioners whose use of virtual technologies and virtual environments will excite conversation amongst artists, designers, and art and design educators http://interface.dit.ie
Keynote speakers at the Interface Conference include:
Norwegian born media artist, Stahl Stenslie, recognised for his work on VR environments, developing different interface technologies and tools for digital culture within the fields of art, media and network research, and Susan Collins, one of the UK’s leading artists working with digital media who utilises public, gallery and online spaces.
