ISEA2013 is proud to present a series of artist panel talks at the MCA as part of our collaboration with Vivid Ideas. We have selected artists from the ISEA2013 and Vivid exhibition programs to come together on a range key thematic topics to discuss the role artists play in creatively investigating the possibilities and pushing the limits of new (and old) technologies. Join us to see how artworks help us to imaginatively experience and critically reflect on the role technologies are set to play in life, art, culture and communication in the 21st century.
Also released are a number of workshops where you have the opportunity to get hands on and play with new techniques and technologies. These are available for booking through the registration system, but all of these events have limited numbers and most are free to ISEA2013 registered delegates , some of these are available to non-delegates so look at what’s on offer and book your places now!
