Body, Media, Art: Once Upon Unsteady Grounds

Lecture and workshop by Sophia Reiterer and Karl Zechenter

In this workshop by gold extra you are invited to explore how the body navigates through spaces that are supposedly ‘bodiless’.

Human experience is always an embodied experience, even if navigating through digital space via an avatar. The body manifests itself through emotion, movement and the voice. Find out how gold extra’s ‘Once Upon Unsteady Grounds’ explores the topic of migration via embodied digital movement. Furthermore, you can try out yourself how embodied experiences can be made through digital media and art. Framing the workshop, Sophia Reiterer introduces theoretical concepts from her thesis about bodies in media and specifically in podcasts.

Time: 3.30pm to 5.30pm
Location: Universität Klagenfurt
Free Admission
