I will be skyping into the Future Artist-Maker Symposium this Friday to talk about my recent residency. My talk is titled 'Reflections on Ultralab Madrid residency / What came to matter in the relationally-defined assemblages that emerged'. There is a really interesting line-up of speakers so if you can make it — at the Nerve Visual Gallery, Ebrington on Friday 24 February from 11 am to 4 pm GMT — RSVP Karen Friel, k.friel@nervecentre.org
From the printing press to colour photography to powerful laser cutters, the creativity of each generation’s artist-makers evolves in relation to new technologies. Find out how artist-makers from across Europe are critically engaging with the FabLab ethos of open-source design and creative collaboration, and how the combination of ‘new machines, new materials and new networks’ are beginning to make their mark. This is an opportunity for artists and makers to see the exhibition, hear from artists involved, network, and discuss new ways forward in using FabLab technologies.
