Abstract
After engaging digital technologies in artistic practice for the last
20 years, how does one conceive of venturing into the next 20 years of
digitally enabled cultural practice? Professor Brown will describe
issues that are at stake in the intentions and methodologies of his
work, and how his intersecting practices of artist, academic and
program administrator create a space for future cultural forms.
Sheldon Brown is Director of the Center for Research in Computing and
the Arts (CRCA) at the University
of California at San Diego (UCSD) where he is a Professor of Visual
Arts and the head of New Media Arts for the California Institute of
Telecommunications and Information Technologies (Calit2), where he also Directs the
Experimental Game Lab.
His work mines the relationships between mediated and physical
experiences, often existing across a range of public realms. As an
artist, he is concerned about overlapping and reconfiguring private and
public spaces; how new forms of mediation are proliferating co-existing
public realms whose geographies and social organisations become ever
more diverse. Art that explores schismatic junctions of these zones?
the edges of their coherency --- allow glimpses into their formative
structures and provide a view that suggests transformative modes of
being, extending constrained boundaries.
