>The Performer and the Mediated Image
>Workshop in Performance & Media Art
>
>In collaboration with Netherlands Media Art Institute, Montevideo / Time
>Based Arts
>
>30 July - 4 August 2001, Amsterdam
>
>
>Introduction
>In recent years, increasing attention has been given to cross-over art=
forms
>where the blurring of boundaries between theatre, music, dance, painting,
>film etc have allowed new hybrids to emerge in the performing arts. In one
>aspect this is not strictly 'new'; the Italian Futurists were busy making
>sound machines in performance at the beginning of the 20th century, and
>artists such as the American Laurie Anderson have long been experimenting
>with live-action, video, music and sound interactive instruments in live
>performance; hence the term 'multimedia'. But contemporary arts practice is
>constantly expanding the use of technology and mediated image-making in
>performance, often resulting in a fascinating melting pot of interfaces,
>virtualities, physical techniques and applications, not to mention
>time/space or theory/practice explorations.
>
>Visual artists have also long been playing with form and content, and with
>methods of presentation. At one end of the spectrum artists such as Nam=
June
>Paik and Bruce Nauman have been making video and installation art since the
>1960s. Towards the end of the last century a new generation came of age;
>artists working with the internet, email, virtual reality, robotics,=
digital
>media. This we have come to refer to as 'Media Art'.
>
>Contemporary theatre and performance-makers are still grappling with the
>same original basic premise as their professional fore-fathers; a
>fundamentally theatrical concept of live spectacle with audience as=
witness.
>A story or stories will be told (but it may be non-linear); there will be a
>beginning, middle, and end (but possibly not in that order); the form will
>include a rise to a climax, and a resolve or conclusion (and most likely
>more than once); but above all, a suspension of disbelief is guaranteed.=
The
>form of the spectacle may be virtual, it may be recorded on CD-rom, it may
>be relayed by live web-cam over the internet; it may be an ensemble piece
>happening simultaneously across the world with each member of the ensemble
>performing in a different city, to a culturally different live audience; it
>may be a personal virtual experience in the head of one single audience
>member at a time; or it may simply require one character to be represented
>by a TV monitor or video projection screen.
>
>Course Description
>This workshop aims to examine practically and theoretically the advances=
and
>emerging challenges to classical representation, and to look at how new
>technologies are radically altering the perception of performance and=
visual
>arts for contemporary audiences;
>
>- What constitutes a mediated image
>- Which forms of mediation might be appropriate to a live setting
>- What are the consequences of working with these images in direct relation
>to the
> 'unmediated' body of the performer (does theatre/performance lose its
>character?)
>- What happens to the relationship between the 'mediated performer' and the
>audience
> (when it's live but not present, or recorded)
>- How/what can we learn from past practice?
>- How can artists practically work with and utilise new media?
>
>Alongside practical sessions, in which creative ideas and projects will be
>devised by the participants and developed over the period of the course,=
the
>work will be contextualised by critical and theoretical discussions of
>existing concepts and contemporary practice. These will be in the form of
>seminars, debates and practical examples, given by experts and artists in
>the specific discipline. Topics include; video art as fine art practice;
>technology & performance; "electric scenography"; interactive performance &
>time-based media; installation & site-specific performance; CD-rom / web &
>internet arts projects; interactive music and sound.
>
>Participant Profile
>Performing Arts practitioners, video artists, media artists & postgraduate
>students. Artists from any discipline who wish to expand and complement
>their own practice via hands-on experience in collaborative work of this
>nature.
