This special Upgrade! event is a hands-on demonstration of the research of two Alt-w awarded artists, Sarah Kettley and Emma Tolmie. Both have explored and developed new forms of wearable technology and combined them with dynamic audio and visual content.
Sarah Kettley and her team have sketch prototyped stretch sensors in sculptural textile forms. The resulting series of woven pieces for the body enable the creation of unique soundscapes augmented by the movement of the wearer.
Emma Tolmie has mixed low-tech gadgetry and high-tech imagery to develop a heads-up display that re-imagines the concept of stereoscopic imaging as a retro-futuristic subversion of 3D film.
The distribution of Alt-w awards is managed by New Media Scotland and funded by Scottish Screen and Scottish Arts Council.
The University of Edinburgh's Inspace is home to a new joint research partnership between New Media Scotland and the School of Informatics. Inspace is a public engagement facility that explores the cultural significance of informatics and new media practice.
New Media Scotland is a national development agency fostering artist and audience engagement with all forms of new media practice.
