Physical Camera and Telematic Performance
Johannes Birringer

This talk is linked to a workshop at Performance 
Space, in which Johannes Birringer is guiding an 
intensive live art exploration of interactive 
interfaces and physical presence.  Issues raised 
in the workshop and the seminar include new 
space-time relations, using the body, camera 
capture, camera tracking, real time processing 
software, and performing with sensors.

Professor Johannes Birringer is an independent 
choreographer and media artist as well as 
artistic director of AlienNation Co., a 
multimedia ensemble based in Houston, Texas 
(www.aliennationcompany.com). He has created 
numerous dance-theatre works, video 
installations, online and site-specific 
performances in collaboration with artists in 
Europe, the Americas and China.  he is author of 
several books, including Media and Performance: 
Along the Border (1998), and Performance on the 
Edge: Transformations of Culture (2000).  He is 
the founder of the Interaktionslabor Göttelborn 
in Germany (http://interaktionslabor.de) and also 
a founding member of AdAPT, an online community 
of artists experimenting with performance and 
telematics.  He is currently the Chair in Drama 
and Performance Technologies in the School of 
Arts at Brunel University in London.

This project is a follow-up event to the
