Retune

The talk »People, Places, Spaces and Things« will focus on interesting technologies on the horizon and the ways they might impact our worlds, like flying dresses that ended up on world-famous music artists. Computation and technology has moved from rooms, to tables, to laps, pockets, wrists and now on bodies. As a new generation of products and services are developed in a world with ubiquitous internet and ‘smart’ devices, Benjamin Males will reflect on over 8 years or developing wearable technology for stage and screen and will propose some expectations for a future where technology is embedded in the fibre and fabric of everyday life. Emma Laugier works with Benjamin Males to conceive of new ways in which technology can enhance the way we perceive, engage and interact with live experiences.
