CoLab, in collaboration with the School of Art & Design at AUT, is pleased to announce “MISPERFORMING: A SYMPOSIUM ON THE UNSTABLE PARADIGMS OF PERFORMANCE AND MEDIA ARTS” to be held on 28th November at AUT University.
‘MISPERFORMING’ is a cousin event to the 15th PSi (Performance Studies International) conference ‘MISPERFORMANCE: Misfiring, Misfitting, Misreading’ held in Zagreb earlier this year. It will continue to explore the emerging 21st language of transdisciplinary performance/technology art in the context of the rapidly changing creative and technology industries environment. The symposium will be followed by a 3-hour evening performance event, GLITCH, at St Paul St Gallery.

Colab is pleased to present an an artist talk by the Digital Media Collective SWAMP.
Our keynote speaker is Dr Leah Buechley director of the
High-Low Tech research group at the MIT (Massachusetts
Institute of Technology) Media Lab. The High-Low Tech
group explores the integration of technology from cultural,
material, and practical perspectives, with the goal of
engaging diverse groups of people in developing their own
technologies. Leah is a well-known expert in the field of
electronic textiles (e-textiles) and she developed a method
for creating cloth printed circuit boards (fabric PCBs) and
designing the commercially available LilyPad Arduino
toolkit. Her research has been featured in The New York
Times, Boston Globe, Popular Science, CRAFT Magazine
and academic publications.
The conference program also include some of New Zealand’s
top industry experts, creative artists, technologists and
foremost thinkers. They will explore issues and themes of
technology and empowerment, including the democratization
of technology, new models for participation, creativity and
business, technology and gender and e-textiles.
