\u201cUsing character and journey in Symbolist Theatre to make a portrait of South Devon\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

In this paper, Phil Smith<\/a> will describe his present project: ‘Anywhere’. This involves his drawing on narratives and aesthetics from nineteenth century Symbolist Theatre, and a particular take on theatrical character,\u00a0as the means to make an investigation and\u00a0description of South Devon. Phil will describe his experiences of walking ‘with character’ and ‘with Symbolist narrative’ and give examples from his findings.<\/p>\n

“How to build a resonant drone machine with objects, people and hidden signals”<\/b><\/p>\n

\n

The Serpent that announces, \u201cThe World is a closed thing, cyclical, resonant, eternally-returning,\u201d is to be delivered into a system whose only aim is to violate the Cycle. [Thomas Pynchon, Gravity\u2019s Rainbow<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In this presentation, David Strang<\/a> will introduce the elastic drone machine and explore the processes involved in developing such a simple device for making noise for performance. Through discourse around the machine David will discuss key concepts (noise, objects, resonance, steganography etc) which each contribute to the machinic assemblage and its various territories, folding together writing from the emerging field of object-oriented ontology (OOO)\u00a0and New Materialism with the practice of hacking and workshops. This may include a short demonstration \/ performance.<\/p>\n
