PROTOTYPES for PERFORMATIVE DESIGN
An open Conversation on Art, Architecture and Technology

In response to emerging electronic cultures which have become ubiquitous in the contemporary environment of social interactions, from the urban to the individual scale, this meeting between artists, software designers, architects and sound artists, examines different relationships between materiality as hardware and immateriality as software. The conversation will be based on a series of presentations of specific projects incorporating art, media, sound and design. Further we will focus on topics where the various projects presented intersect, for instance production, performance, authorship, atmospherics and on the notion of the prototype. The seminar is hosted by the research project Algorithmic Environments, which is run by the international architecture and design collaborative Servo, who has exhibited internationally as well as in Sweden.

PROTOTYPER för PERFORMATIV DESIGN
Ett öppet Samtal kring design/konst/arkitektur och teknologi

Som ett svar på framväxten av olika elektroniska kulturer i vår samtida värld av sociala interaktioner, såväl i det urbana som det individuella planet, kommer detta möte mellan konstnärer, mjukvara designers, arkitekter och ljud konstnärer, undersöka olika relationer mellan materialitet som hårdvara och immaterialitet som mjukvara. I seminariet presenterar inbjudna konstnärer och designers egna konst-, design- och mediaprojekt, som berör frågeställningar kring produktion, performativitet, upphovsmannaskap, atmosfäriska kvaliteter och prototyp begreppet. Värd för seminariet är forskningsprojektet Algorithmic Environments som drivs av det internationella designkollektivet Servo som genomfört många uppmärksammade utställningar internationellt och i Sverige.
