Hosted by D-MARC Digital and Material Arts Research Centre at the University of Derby in collaboration with EMUA colleagues, and in association with CTRG Creative Technologies Research Group.
As successive software and hardware innovation facilitates crossovers between traditional arts disciplines, Hybridity is becoming a defining feature of the emerging creative digital environment. In this regional university event we wish to interrogate and explore this notion and its implications for the field of arts, design and communications. As boundaries dissolve between traditional practices and aesthetic, theoretical, ethical and technical questions are raised regarding their future alignment, meaning and development. The latest developments in digital technology require that we elaborate new categories of practice and criticism, which also involve rethinking our relationship to the history of traditional practices.
The event will facilitate a range of presentations by arts practitioners and theoreticians to help frame the debate. This full day event was open to academics and PhD students from East Midlands Higher Education Institutions. Places were allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
