A playful take on the format of an academic conference, The Symposium will gather scientists, curators, creative practitioners and members of the public to discuss the possible entanglements between art and science through the subject of multi sensory interactions.
About
Aimed at a non-specialist audience, these talks and activities will allow researchers, academics and practitioners to introduce their work to a wider public and to engage in cross-disciplinary dialogues.
The first day will focus around new media and technologies and their role in shaping how we perceive the world around us.
