Our special guest for this event are:

Robyn Taylor

Robyn Taylor is a Canadian singer and researcher working in Open Lab at Newcastle University. Robyn uses participatory performance as a creative and investigatory medium, inviting members of the public to engage in improvisational performances. Through staging and evaluating playful collaborative experiences, her research explores issues in human-computer interaction surrounding creative agency and social encounters in public spaces.

Alan Brown

Alan is a visual artist working with audio, moving image and technology. He creates installations and device art which explore themes around communication, control and power. Much of Alan’s practice involves modifying existing objects and technology, such as telephones, bank cards and CCTV, to function in altered or unexpected ways.
