[node-l] Slade Technology Fayre

[Joe Clark]

Dear All

I would like to Invite you all to participate in 'Slade Technology
Fayre' which is an event I am running at Woburn in the second week of
next term- on the 7th of May.

There are two strands- the afternoon session which is workshop based
and the evening session which is much more informal. (hopefully there
will be drinks sponsorship ;)  Full details below.

I'm looking for participants in general and also for people who may be
interested in running a workshop in the afternoon.

I hope you find the Fayre interesting

All the best

Joe

Slade Technology Fayre

Slade Research Centre, Woburn Square

Thursday 7th May

Workshop sessions 11-5pm

Evening Event 5-9pm

Open Call: Anybody using technology in an interesting way to make art-
or trying to make art!

Loosely modelled around the format of a science fair, Slade Technology
Fayre is an informal non-hierarchical event, which seeks to gather
skills and experience into the school and escalate the conversation
surrounding work that makes use of technology in an interesting way.

At the Fayre all participants are both teachers and learners. Simply,
the goal is to present projects or research that have a  technological
component. The only rule is that at some point along the line the
research must have the aspiration to be read as an artwork.

For people used to presenting work in a critical context this is an
opportunity to take a step back and share information about the
often-invisible activities happening in the computer. For those less
engaged with a critical sphere, the Fayre is an opportunity to get
involved in a discussion about how the work is operating critically as
well as technically
The Fayre will feature:

-       Speed dating- a quick introduction to each participant and
their research
-       Day-time workshop sessions
-       Small group critiques
-       A discussion event exploring the role of technology in art practice.
-       Stands from useful companies
-       An evening free for all.



Examples of the kind of projects you may want to show: Physical
Computing, 3D printing, Robotics, Net Art, Novel Projection Methods,
Hacking (hardware or software), Lighting, Live Video, Processing,
Max/MSP, Isadora…etc etc etc
