e‾lektron experiment: STARTS.EE Showing

20.12.2020 kell 17:00-18:00 toimub elektron.live platvormil e⁻lektroni ja TLU HCI labori esimese ühisresidentuuri showing. Kunstnikud tutvustavad oma tööd, võimalik küsida küsimusi. Samal üritusel tutvustavad ka uued residendid oma ideid, millega nad alles hakkavad tööle! e⁻lektron ja TLU HCI labor korraldavad üheskoos Art-Science residentuure STARTS.EE, kus kunstnik ja teadlane töötavad koos mõne nähtuse kallal, juhitud uudishimust ja inspireeritud vahetustest, mis ületavad kahe domeeni piire. Septembris alustasid residentuuris Dila Demir ja Mihkel Kohava uurima teemat “How to wear sensations?”. Dila on Ph.D. tudeng Eesti Kunstiakadeemias. Ta töötab elektrooniliste tekstiilidega ning tema uurimistöö ühendab kehastunud disainmõtlemist tema tekstiilipraktikaga. Mihkel on lõpetanud Eesti Muusika- ja Teatriakadeemia lavastaja eriala. Kui siiani on ta olnud rohkem klassikalise teatri lavastaja ja näitlejana, siis selles residentuuris on tema huvi on kasutada biosensoreid ja nende kogutud andmed. Residentuuris töötavad Dila ja Mihkel võtetega, kuidas kasutada vaatajate liikumist, nende biosignaale ja e-tesktiile, et jutustada lugu Odüsseuse eksirännakutest. On this Sunday 20.12.2020 from 17:00-18:00 (EEST) the STARTS.EE residents will show what they've been up to for the last months. The audience can ask questions and get some answers from them! The new residents will also introduce themselves and their plans for their residencies! e⁻lektron, STARTS.EE and TLU HCI lab has been hosting an art-science residency on the topic "How to wear sensations?". An art-science residency is a form of collaboration where an artist and a researcher work together on some phenomena, led by curiosity and inspired by the exchanges that transcend the two domains' boundaries. In September, we kickstarted a residency on the topic of wearables for biofeedback, where Dila Demir and Mihkel Kohava are exploring the potential of physiological computing, e-textiles, and gamification in theatre. Dila is a Ph.D. student at the Estonian Academy of Arts. She works in the realms of electronic textiles, and her research combines embodied design thinking and bodily interactions with her textile practice. Recently, she worked as an e-textile costume designer for an artificial intelligent brainwave opera titled AIBO. Mihkel graduated theatre directing studies from Estonian Music and Theatre Academy. He has worked with classical theatre productions as director and actor, such as Chekov or Kitzberg. Before drama school worked a bit on data processing projects, his interest is putting the biosensors and data they collect into a story's service, in our case Odysseia. id:experiment
