October 11-13, 2017 | Bath Spa University, UK

Elastic Spaces is an international research project exploring the intersections of art practices and viewing technologies such as augmented reality, outdoor projection, mobile media, virtual reality, stereo video. It is exploring physical and virtual spaces, their representation and the relationship of the body to those spaces, from physical movement to human migration.

This 3rd symposium follows two previous symposia in Concordia University, Montreal (in 2015 and 2016). It is a chance for project members and colleagues to share their practices and for interested colleagues and students to contribute to the future development of the international partnership.

The three days took place at Bath School of Art and Design (Sion Hill), Bath City Centre, and College of Liberal Arts (Newton Park).
