The Performer and the Mediated Image
Workshop in Performance & Media Art

The Amsterdam-Maastricht Summer University in collaboration with the
Netherlands Media Art Institute, Montevideo/Time Based Arts

30 July - 4 August 2001, Amsterdam

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.

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.

Participant Profile

postgraduate students. Artists from any discipline who wish to expand
