Sara Diamond, Director of Research at the Banff Centre, and Artistic
Director for Media and Visual Arts at the Banff New Media Institute,
will discuss her ongoing work in the area of interdisciplinary
collaboration focusing on her current artistic practice - the CodeZebra
collaborative software and performance environment. Drawn from Ms.
Diamonds considerable experience in facilitating a wide range of
practices that merge art, technology and science, this project explores
the ways that individuals and groups can effectively collaborate across
disciplines, drawing from collaboration studies. The CodeZebra suite
currently includes performances, collaboration software, wearable and
ubiquitous technology designs, and continues to expand into new domains.
Diamond will connect this project to general research in art and science
collaboration and present a few examples of Code Zebra implementation.
Presentations of CodeZebra have included Digital Bodies, Ludwig Museum,
Budapest, Hungary, as a dance, text and software performance; Future
Physical, UK, as part of dance club and conference events and at the
DEAF Festival, Rotterdam, Netherlands as a habituation cage event,
locking up artists and scientists with two way moderated streams; and a
conference about CodeZebra, role playing and visualization at University
of Turku, Finland.
