Sheron Wray + Fleeta Siegel – Texterritory:
SMS performance
<www.texterritory.com>
The co-creators and performers of Texterritory will discuss this new work where
the audience direct the narrative by SMS. This commission for Future Physical
incorporates dance, music and poetry. Sheron, currently a Nesta fellow,  is
working on narrowing boundaries between audience and performer; she also has
her own contemporary dance company. Texterritory was made using a Flash interface
and XML scripting by Fleeta Siegel. What further possibilities are there for
this type of audience interaction?

Bea Gibson- multi-national call
centres in India

Bea Gibson, founder of the Nungu, will discuss her accent
neutralisation software made with Sejal Chad and Adrian Ward. Packaged
as a training tool for call center agents in India it is a satirical
look at the generic 'globalised' identity. The piece is informed by Bea’s
position working between Mumbai and London. To what extent can this type
of tactical intervention be used?

Cybersalon goes back to its roots!
Cybersalon @ Lifthouse is a new series of informal Cybersalon
discussions based in East London. The themes alternate between digital
art and net activism. They cater for about 50 people on a first come
basis and include short presentations and a discussion followed by
a chill social space.

These sessions let us feedback work recently completed
or in progress, discuss new uses of tactical media, disseminate information
from media art festivals and interventions and respond to current events
and invited guests who may be in town.
