SEMINAR:
11 April 2002 / 2-5pm
Alex McLean (state51); Joanna Walsh (zooleika); Adrian Ward (signwave) will demonstrate creative possibilities for generative media, with a focus on issues related to creative autonomy and the emerging figure of the artist-programmer. Tom Trevor (Spacex Gallery) and Tina Sotiriadi (i-DAT) will talk about two art projects that engage these ideas - Generator and Vivaria. Jon Pettigrew (Maxus), who co-founded sseyo and helped to create the Koan music system, will present his generative film prototype. Geoff Cox (i-DAT) will chair and introduce the event.
