                       Live Art: Use of New Media Technologies in
Performance


                       26 - 31 August, Amsterdam

                       In collaboration with Montevideo / Time Based
Arts, Netherlands Media Art Institute

                       INTRODUCTION

                       Led by the British artist group Blast Theory,
fronted by Matt
                       Adams, participants will gain new access to
technology which will allow them to
                       move away from fixed images and media. In
dayfilling workshops that will take
                       place mostly in Montevideo, Blast Theory will
talk about and demonstrate use
                       of new mediatechnologies in performance and
theatre. They will also work with
                       participants on new projects. (We are still
working on the detailed
                       programme.)

                       In the evenings a special programme is developed
to further explore the
                       immersion of different media in performance.
Speakers include Graham
                       Harwood (Mongrel) and Netochka Nezvanova (Steim).

                       Blast Theory is a group of four artists based in
London who make live events
                       for theatres, clubs, galleries and the street.
The group4s work confronts a
                       media saturated world in which popular culture
rules. It uses video and
                       computers to ask questions about the ideologies
present in the information
                       that envelops us. Founded on a belief in
collective work and an openness about
                       creativity Blast Theory collaborates with a wide
range of creative people: from
                       DJs to dancers, from CD-ROM designers to pop
promo directors. These beliefs
                       also underpin an extensive education and outreach
programme designed to
                       inspire and equip others with the skills to make
interdisciplinary work. Blast
                       Theory aims to make work that is direct,
accessible and has something to say.

                       PARTICIPANT PROFILE

complement their own practice via hands-on
