Hello everyone and welcome to the <ambit> list.
We hope that this list can become a useful forum for discussion and
announcements about media art in Scotland.
To make things a little friendlier, we'd be grateful if you could introduce
yourselves to the other list subscribers. Then even if you are 'lurking'
most of the time people know who they are talking to.
As an aid to discussion, we've dreamt up some broad topics which we hope
are topical and interesting. These will change every month, sometimes tying
in with a particular event or situation. The topics are only meant as a
guide, please feel free to discuss or announce anything which is relevant
to the overall focus of the <ambit> list.
This month's topic is: sites/locations for making and showing work
Angus Digital Media Centre opened earlier this month, boasting state of the
art facilities. The new CCA opens in Glasgow in 15 days' time, billed as
Scotland's first 'wired' exhibition and performance space. Public access
digital facilities have been established at Stills in Edinburgh, Peacock in
Aberdeen, Street Level and G-MAC in Glasgow. Specialised facilities exist
at the Visual Research Centre at Dundee Contemporary Arts.
What impact do site or location have on artists' practise with media
technologies? Does the existence of these centres make a difference to how
and what artists choose to make or show?
Comments welcome.
Regards
Chris Byrne
