*AlgoMech - Festival of Algorithmic and Mechanical Movement* SYMPOSIUM ON UNMAKING
11th November 2017 Old Post Hall, Sheffield Institute of Arts http://algomech.com/2017/events/unmaking-symposium/ This symposium puts forward Unmaking as a form of resistance. The taking apart of technology - whether algorithmic or mechanic - is a step in reaching new understanding, whether cultural, historical, or technical. The focus on movement in this process, for example through choreographic, musical, textile, or political action, provides common language for discussion across disciplines. The symposium is convened by the PENELOPE project, where the mythological figure of Penelope from Ancient Greece provides a universal paradigm of unmaking. Registration: £17.50 including lunch. Discussion will be lead by: - Ellen Harlizius-Klück <https://penelope.hypotheses.org/ellen-harlizius-kluck>, weaver, mathematician - Laura Sillars <http://sitegallery.org/>, curator - Ernest Edmonds <http://ernestedmonds.com/>, computer artist Other participants include: - Amy Twigger-Holroyd <http://www.keepandshare.co.uk/research>, reknitter - Emma Cocker <http://not-yet-there.blogspot.co.uk/>, writer-artist - Flavia Carraro <https://penelope.hypotheses.org/flavia-carraro>, anthropologist of technology and science - Naomi Kashiwagi <http://www.naomikashiwagi.co.uk/>, visual and sound artist - Christian Faubel <http://christian.faubel.derstrudel.org/>, autonomous systems researcher, media artist - Sarah Kenchington <http://algomech.com/2017/artists/sarah-kenchington/>, mechanical orchestrator - Amanda Ross <http://arossfiber.com/>, weaver-musician - Dave Griffiths <https://fo.am/kernow/>, live coder, generalist - Giovanni Fanfani <https://penelope.hypotheses.org/giovanni-fanfani>, classical philologist - Alex McLean <http://slab.org/>, software artist, live coder More information and tickets: http://algomech.com/2017/events/unmaking-symposium/ Part of the Festival of Algorithmic and Mechanical Movement 8-12th November http://algomech.com/ AlgoMech is co-funded by Arts Council England, European Research Council and PRS Foundation
