Happy to be hosting this symposium as part of AlgoMech festival, featuring

exploration of pattern and movement!

Launching AlgoMech Festival <
https://algomech.com/>, an interdisciplinary
symposium bringing together perspectives from digital media, choreography &
dance technology, traditional Andean and Ancient Greek textiles,
e-textiles, philology, live coding and architecture.
Through talks, discussion and performance, contributors to the symposium
will consider their work in the context of interlacing within and between
textiles, e-textiles, pattern, structure and movement, including dance.
Interfaces between materials, craft technologies, digital engineering,
responsive systems, embodied communications, threads, inter-weaving,
intertwining, braiding and building will provide a rich vein of dialogue,
experimentation and recent practice-led outcomes.
10:00 - 17:00 - Symposium (coffee from 09:30)
Note that following the symposium will be the AlgoMech festival exhibition
launch event with dance performance and screening. See
