Art Hub: does online networking cause social distance?
Art Hub is a Live Art event investigating social connectivity. A programme of performances explores the dynamics of interaction, as the replacement of face-to-face conversation with online networking causes social distance.
The event will take place at The Poly on Saturday 21st August from 6.30pm until 11pm. An afternoon performance will also happen on Falmouth Moor from 12pm until 3pm on the same day.
Selected artists examine notions of intimacy, collaboration and exchange; occurring in both physical and virtual space and questioning the impact of online technologies on contemporary culture. The featured artists are Bryony Gillard, Hedva Eltanani, Kathryn Ashill, Kimbal Bumstead, Susan Mortimer and Zierle and Carter.
Art Hub happens at a significant point in time for Live Art in Cornwall, with the launch of the Performance Centre at University College Falmouth, scheduled this autumn.
The event will be followed by an exhibition of documentation, to open at Woodlane Campus from Tuesday 7th until Saturday 11th September.
All admissions free of charge.
