iRes Research Cluster and Tate Modern collaborate on symposium
The College's iRes Research Cluster collaborated with Tate Modern on the Disrupting Narratives Symposium at Tate Modern last month.
This international symposium brought together some of the world's leading media artists, theorists and researchers to explore real-time interaction in electronic media.
The Concept was by Research Cluster Leader, Kate Southworth, developed in collaboration with Tate Modern and contributors included: Mark Amerika, Alexandra R Galloway, Andrea Zapp, Kelli Dipple, Kate Rich and Paul Sermon. Mark Amerika has also joined iRes as International Visiting Professor for summer 2007.
Mark has been named a Time Magazine 100 innovator. In 2000, Grammatron was selected as one of the first works of internet art to be exhibited in the prestigious Whitney Biennial of American Art. His book, META/DATA: A Digital Poetics, has been recently published by The MIT Press. A Professor of Art and Art History at the University of Colorado, Mark's practice-based research methods have been translated into novels, feature-length films, museum installations and live multimedia performances that integrate experimental music, live writing, and video sampling into the narrative mix.
Mark is currently working on Foreign Film (Immbolité), a film being made using a Nokia N95 mobile phone.
