Hosted by Harrison Hall and Sam Mcgilp, this Makeshift workshop will share practical methodologies for collaboratively devising interdisciplinary new media art and performance work.
Makeshift Workshop: Pseudo Performance is for makers, performers and artists wanting to explore incorporating technology into their performances, or performance into their digital work.
Taking place over three days at Arts House, the workshop will include daily group led movement and somatic based warmups, and workshops sessions that examine different technologies that Harrison and Sam have integrated into their last five years of creations including:
- Real-time, experimental and AI approaches to motion-capture
- Live-video compositing and volumetric capture
- Facial tracking
- Multi-stream live video
The workshop will be an opportunity to:
- Share practical tools for collaboratively making tech / artwork
- Build peer connections between digital and performance artists
- Start to make a community of practice in this hybrid field
- Apply these thoughts and relationships to artists’ own work
In the final day the workshop will become a space for experimentation, providing participants the opportunity to explore how these technologies could be integrated into their own works and practices.
