Tech Object Seminar: Motorola DynaTAC Ultra Sleek 9690 Kia ora everyone. This event is happening tomorrow afternoon at Western Institute of technology at Taranaki:
https://www.facebook.com/events/299378631749382 This Wednesday 27th October, from 1pm-3pm at Te piere o te rangi, Western Institute of Technology at Takanaki, hear artist and educator Pasha Ian Clothier discuss the Motorola DynaTac Ultra Sleek 9690 early 'brick' mobile phone and its wider cultural context as a technology of long-distance communication. As their complexity increases, the objects of technology that we use everyday become more and more mystifying to the average user. Most of us are able to competently operate our cellphones or computers, however much less are able to confidently explain how or why a given piece of technology works. This is the second in a series of five seminars, each guest presenter will be an arts practitioner who explores the cultural, social and artistic aspects of technology through their work. This event series is free to attend, and all are welcome. Thank you to Creative New Zealand Toi Aotearoa for supporting this event. Pasha Ian Clothier is an electronic artist; PhD candidate at Auckland University of Technology; Director of creative research at Intercreate ( http://www.intercreate.org/); and Kiako, The Learning Connexion. www.ianclothier.art The ADA Network enables communication between artists, curators, teachers, critics, theorists, writers and the interested public.
