"Curating Performance and New Media Art "


The guests will discuss curating new media practices as ways of creating 
/opening up new 'spaces' (platforms) of collaboration and encounter, exchange 
of ideas with audiences. Work at the intersections of art, science, technology 
challenge institutions and curators, so can we invent new ways or develop 
existing models or presenting new media wor , and this of course also includes 
digital performance.
