A very special guest Moises Horta joins us for the 27th edition of our meet-up! Moises will give a short presentation about his work and interests in neural networks and how they can be used in the context of the movement based performances. He'll also talk a bit about his team's performance in this year's Music Makers Hacklab and how they used movement and sensors.

This time we will focus in our discussion on the relation of technology and performance art.

How do performers with no experience in coding or machines relate to using technology in their artistic practise?

What are performers’ expectations from technology; what do they need; how can they contribute to its development.

How to afford including technology in performative artistic practices?

What happens if we add too many senses – will we overwhelm our brains? “That’s unknown,” said Eagleman, “but I feel like we’re probably nowhere near the limit...[the brain] is enormous and it has plenty of room to take in all kinds of sensor data.”

Next movLab is tomorrow, in Spektrum, with this time an open discussion as a start, about our senses, and the possibility for technology to hack our...

'In the 21st century, as our individual agency, cognition and subjectivity extends into, and through, our prosthetic digital technologies, the human subject is increasingly constituted as an assemblage of human-computer-communication networks.’

As a start, we’re gonna discuss Kathy Cleveland's approach to prosthetic digital technologies and the human subject. How do human and technology interact...

'tuning' is a special edition of Sentire performance exploring how Sentire can affect social interaction and individual perception during this mutual experience. Participants are invited to experience Sentire directly with other persons from the audience. 

"Enhanced sensing" is a conference aiming to create a frame for discussion on cognition and on human-technology interaction, particularly in relation to movement and sound. "Enhanced sensing" is a platform initiated by the Sentire project to exchange ideas and experiences. 

"One plays only if and when one wishes to. In this sense, play is free activity. It is also uncertain activity. Doubt must remain until the end, and hinges upon the denouement.”

Next movLab will host an open discussion as a start, about Roger Caillois and his research on the sociology of play and games. Join us in the lab: bring your laptop, ideas and let’s share!
