Christina Seely, Ruth Gibson: Coventry University Centre for Dance Research @cdare_cu’s conversation series, C-DARE invites
TIME/DATE: May 15th 1:30-3pm GMT
In dialogue with Christina Seely, Ruth Gibson offers a nuanced exploration into the ways in which an environment-based exchange anchors their artistic practices, giving shape to her evolving concept of Double Presencing. Seely reflects on the entwined roles of the animal, the body, and the land within her photographic and film work, revealing how these elements form layered, embodied ecologies. Gibson, in turn, explores the porous boundaries between reality and imagination, focusing on the liminal, often playful thresholds where creative expression takes shape. READ MORE

‘A hybrid gathering with both real workshops, installations and digital lectures! Immersive Days #1 is both a network and a new annual gathering of professional artists, curators, researchers, technicians, teachers and students within a broad field of immersive technologies and (artistic) practices. The initiative functions as a continuation of several symposiums, workshops and research into immersive technologies in art. We meet up to share, explore and playtest XR and immersive sound projects, often works in progress. We give feedback to each other and we share experiences and challenges. The aim is to build a strong collaborative platform, where we help and support each other. And then we try to investigate and map some of the latest technological and artistic developments within the fields of extended reality and spatial sound.’
Dr Ruth Gibson & Dr Jenny Roche established a network of experts to explore how performance captures the senses and builds a connection between the audience & performers featuring live-streamed events.

With hardware and software and becoming more affordable and easier to use, VR is once again capturing the imagination of artists. It is both a tool and environment potentially offering a wide range of experiences not just for one body but also for a collective. The potential for empathy, dislocation and shared sensory experience is rich for artistic work but the technology tends to be directed towards the consumer electronics market and ever more ‘intimate’ and targeted advertising.

Here’s a review of the talk about AR we did at Artful Spark at the Barbican. “We discovered a long time ago it’s not always best to be first to a new technology. There are still so many exciting opportunities later, once the wrinkles have been ironed out.”
Artful Spark is a quarterly event about cross discipline collaboration and boundary defying work that brings together commissioners, coders, producers, game designers and artists to explore the possibilities presented by emerging technology. Since the inaugural event at Furtherfield focussed on wearable tech, Artful Spark has travelled through immersive sound, sensors, mixed reality and more, featuring the best in boundary-defying work: Imogen Heap’s magical Mi Mu gloves, musical barcodes, Björk’s binaural retrospective at MoMA, art you can taste, time travelling echo horns, and Linguine, an operating system for cities.
