movLab #26 relating technology to performance art

  • Doors: 19:30
  • Start time: 20:00
  • Entrance: Free

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?

movLab is a place for researching ways to digitize motion and the human body and to make the data accessible for further use in VR, gaming, stage performance or art. We are building sensors, writing code and explore new ways of moving.

At our community meetings we get together and experiment. Some of us may be trained professionals others are completely new to the field. You do not need to know or have anything to join us, apart from respect for the people around you.

We embrace diversity in thoughts, bodies and looks! We take the unknown and unfamiliar as inspiration and as a challenge to rethink ourselves. An especially warm welcome those who are often underrepresented in the tech domain! We strongly believe in the Berlin Code of Conduct: rubyberlin.github.io/code-of-conduct/.
