Announcing a Special Event: Premix!
Revise is pleased to announce the special workshop, Premix: Experiments in Open Source Cultural Practice, which will take place on Wednesday, 1 December in the afternoon here at the University of Wollongong as a lead-in to the main conference, from Thursday 2 to Friday 3 December.
Organised by Creative Arts faculty member Brogan Bunt, this event brings together educators and artists to discuss the pedagogical potentials of remix, and will feature a very special guest speaker: electronic multimedia artist Scanner. Scanner will present a talk entitled: "Telephone Terrorism to Soundtracking the Dead: The Adventures and Tales of a Flaneur and Bricoleur". In addition to this session, Scanner will be giving a live performance in Wollongong Wednesday event.
From his website:
British artist Robin Rimbaud traverses the experimental terrain between sound, space, image and form, creating absorbing, multi-layered sound pieces that twist technology in unconventional ways. From his early controversial work using found mobile phone conversations, through to his focus on trawling the hidden noise of the modern metropolis as the symbol of the place where hidden meanings and missed contacts emerge, his restless explorations of the experimental terrain have won him international admiration from amongst others, Bjork, Aphex Twin and Stockhausen.
Additional speakers will include:
