Embodiment & Mobility. A Digital+Media Symposium
Friday, April 3rd 2009

This is a small symposium bringing together the work of media artists and researchers who are interested in notions of embodiment and/or mobility and who we have the pleasure to have with us at the Digital + Media Department at this very moment. The schedule for the symposium and the abstracts of the talks are here.

The Symposium Embodiment & Mobility takes place on Friday, April 3rd on the 4th floor of the CIT building (see below). We will have a morning session starting at 9:30, the afternoon session will start after lunch at 2:30 and finish around 5pm. We will then visit a newly-opened D+M student curated exhibition across the road, followed by drinks at Tazza (own expense).

At 6pm Chris Salter will give a talk as part of the “Music and Body” Colloquium at Brown’s Meme program with whom we are glad to co-organize Chris Salter’s contribution and some of you might want to join this event.

We will round off the evening with a dinner at a nearby affordable restaurant (own expense).

This symposium is free and open to the public. However we ask you to reserve your space with Sue Mazzucco at digital@risd.edu. Thank you!
