The Centre of New Media and Feminist Public Practices is dedicated to the production, postproduction, distribution and support of women's’ practice and development of feminist theory. The centre will be an innovative initiative which by definition involves application of information and technology, imagination and diverse methods in deriving new and different values and ethos in new media, feminist practice and public space. Ideas and processes will be conveyed to cultural products which will enhance women's’ advancement, productivity and assimilation to the professional field. The center will organize an on-going relational archive of relevant practices. Through workshops, seminars, tutorials and lectures, it will provide the theoretical and technical expertise for starting projects combined with media, public space, labor and intellectual work in order to produce (symbolic) capital. Diverse and innovative methodologies will be introduced in order for the national and local potential to succeed in the ever changing and increasing competitive global environment.
Fourth OIKONET conference on “Global Dwelling”
21-22 September 2018
Volos, Greece
The Conference is jointly organized by the OIKONET Network and the Department of Architecture of the School of Engineering, University of Thessaly, Greece.
My Augmented Sibyl - Divination Mania
In-situ experience and digital oracles of virtual representations
The workshop proposes the metamorphosis of the in-situ experiences into oneiric future visions. Through observation and collective gathering, the fragmented micro-scenes will predict the future in multiple means:
- through music, electroacoustic, soundscapes…
- through choreography, audiovisual…
- through manipulated images or collage/montages…
- through augmented digital objects; or even augmented presences…
Upon the corporeal experience, a dynamic interface in between sensing and creating, we aim to explore multiple possibilities in the interaction of the body with the space-time. Taking as primary input “situationist” routes and exploration of urban, rural and archaeological spaces of Amfissa, as inspiration and analysis, the participants will map new diverse routes of narration and will detect space-times of interest. These geo-localized points will operate like doors towards augmented ecstatic sites, to future visions.
The strategies of the development of the project are:
- Experimentation with augmented and digital tools, either as communication strategy either as creative design means.
- Analysis of the space-time of Amfissa, recognizing emblematic sites such as the café where movies of Angelopoulos were filmed. Delineation of the connexion between everyday spaces and sounds and their cultural representations.
- Rise of art narratives upon the idea of movie story telling as a poetic collective construction.
- Awareness of the suitability of prophecies: augmented reality regarded as a mirror of our desires, fears and more
- New innovative languages of art; from sound, audiovisual, images to digital modelling and augmented reality
