by prSunday February 7th. Doors @ 1:30pm Cinerobotheque
As Creators, Where Can We Take Mobile Technology?
:: Kim Sawchuk::
TALES FROM THE MOBILE TRAIL
Kim Sawchuk will discuss the current agenda and past projects associated with the Mobile Media Lab, a collaborative bi-located (Montreal-Toronto) creative crucible for the production of wireless, mobile media events.
In reflecting upon the past and emerging itinerary of the Lab, Kim will discuss the current context and boom in mobile wireless technologies, collaborating across the art and science divide, the value of engaging with potential audiences and users before a production is finalized, scripting for mobile media in indoor and outdoor spaces, and finally re-imagining the creative potential of mobile media technologies and practices from a feminist perspective. In her talk she will argue that research-creators not only use mobile devices in their practices, but can learn from experience and experimentation.
