| The arts sector is changing. Developments in information and communications technology are affecting the way people think and behave and are impacting on their expectations as cultural producers and consumers. These shifts raise challenges and opportunities for artists, curators and arts organisations.
During May/June 2010 you are invited to participate in Dematerial:critical debates in digital arts - a series of events taking place across the South West region that seek to stimulate and generate critical debates in relation to digital arts within the region. |
| The events will take place at three locations across the region: University College Falmouth; Arnolfini, Bristol; Bournemouth University. There will be different speakers at each one of the events. Each event will focus on particular set of issues or identified area of practice, and all will invite open discussion on the complex relationship between the digital and the arts. |
| The events are designed and lead by artist and academic Kate Southworth at University College Falmouth. |
