spacecowboys - workshop hybrid spaces
i've been invited to attend the spacecowboys workshop! yihaa!
06 + 07 May 2008
Z33, Hasselt, Belgium
Our feeling of space and place changes and refreshes constantly through the interaction and communication possibilities of new media. Locations and environments may be altered from public to a private and from concrete to virtual through mobile technologies. These hybrid spaces create emotional and aesthetic possibilities for artists to experiment with. How do artists work with hybrid space and how do they make us aware of the social and cultural implications?
During two workshop days we will think, talk and work around four thematic issues:
* local/global,
* private/public,
* narrative/creative
* visible/invisible.
Sharing and mapping experiences, thoughts and visions around creative expressions of hybrid space are the central goal. Every thematic issue will be introduced by an international speaker who explains and highlights the issue from his or her own experience, and a national reporter who reflects upon the situation and possibilities for Flanders (Dutch-speaking Belgium).The exhibition Place@Space at Z33 functions as material for study during this workshop.
The findings, conclusions, new questions and other output of this workshop will be brought together on this website and in a printed publication.
