13. second to stand and talk about what digital practice means to me – show a variety of work including Look About and KS without giving too much away about 14th June.
Point one: I use digital to make those things I cant otherwise – the sounds – the images unavailable in the real world – value and capture what happens around me and represent.
Point two: Digital is an ideal ‘aspergers’ way of working and thinking – Transforming – manipulating – metamorphosis – starting with something to ‘alter’ and not a blank canvas – input action output.
Point three: We are all no self publicists with a studio in our pocket – creator – disseminator – audience participator – all without permissions and restriction.
14: Demonstrate without pressing a key in first breakout group – listening too and thinking of solving sound and interactive technology for Deaf dancers – thinking around corners.
