Mats Nordlund, Annabel Castro, and Pierre Proske Present Recent Works
Mats Nordlund, Annabel Castro, and Pierre Proske from Art and Technology at Chalmers University of Technology, Innovative Design, discuss their recent projects with new media.
Mats Nordlund
Swedish artist Mats Nordlund discusses his current work with mixed media in stage performance, including the piece to be shown at his second work-in-progress show at Atalante, the Gothenburg experimental theatre (www.atalante.org calendarium for details) on October 11. He merges various techniques, combining the old with the new, mixing the traditional - painting - with the experimental - computer based work. In the digital medium, he has focused on working with the real room, the space, as the reference point. He is currently studying at the Art and Technology program at Chalmers.
Annabel Castro and Pierre Proske
Annabel Castro from Mexico and Pierre Proske from Australia, discuss and demo their work on the robot Caliban, based on the character Caliban from Shakespeare's play "The Tempest". The robot is unconditional, grotesque,misleading, absurd, and erratic. Obstinate intelligence rather than artificial. Annabel has been obsessed with exploring robots as a tool to play with theatre,linguistics and literature. She has studied fine arts, graphic design, and art and technology and likes to pretend she is doing theatre. Pierre is an art-technologist, sound designer and web developer from Australia. His work has been exhibited and performed in Australia, Sweden and Canada. He playfully explores the relations between humans and machines, and maintain a firm interest in biologically based and inspired art. Both are students from the Art and Technology program at Chalmers.
