Radiator and Digital Cultures Symposium
on Performance, Dance, and Technology Art
2 - 4 December 2005

This three day international symposium comes to Nottingham in December to
bring into focus artistic practices of live performance and dance using
digital
technology in the form of lens based, sensory, networked or locative media.
Coordinated by Digital Cultures Lab based at Nottingham Trent
University, and
Radiator, based at Broadway Cinema, the symposium forms part of Radiator
05 - the UK's leading biannual Festival of New Technology Art. The symposium
also concludes the four-day Digital Cultures Lab in dance technologies
(Nov.28 - Dec.1) coordinated by Johannes Birringer to convene a platform
of exchange for some of the most recognized dance technologists around
the world.

The Symposium will bring together leading practitioners, developers,
scientists and theorists from the disciplines that make up new media
performance including live art, locative and pervasive media, telematics,
performance and dance, wearable, sensor based and cybernetic technologies.
