Her most recent interactive movie installation is Artificial Changelings. An Australian artist who has performed extensively in Japan, Europe and the USA, his works incorporate new music, dance and experimental theater. He has used such diverse technologies as medical prosthetics, robotics, virtual reality and the internet to explore alternate, intimate, and involuntary interfaces between human and non-human bodies. Discussions at the conference among scholars and artists will focus on how new technologies are altering the boundaries between writing and image, human and machine, and narrativity and corporality, she added. The students will come together with their teachers, writer Sondheim, philosopher Jacques Derrida and local artists, poets and academics, for a workshop and discussion session during the conference.
Exhibits are free and open to the public.
Admission to conference sessions is open to registered participants only, Stelarc presentation and Derrida roundtable at Page Hall excepted.
