Program

At Art.on.Wires we provide artists and engineers with time and space to develop ideas and practically explore them. This means that most of their time people will work in small groups doing programming, practicing, rehearsing, discussing. In addition to that we arrange some scheduled events during the four days. Here is the detailed schedule:

Keynote Talks

  • Tue 11/5, 14-15h: Mark Coniglio, Troika Ranch
  • Wed 12/5, 14-15h: Atau Tanaka, Chair of Digital Media, Director of Culture Lab, Newcastle University

Dorkbot Talks

Mon 10/5, 20-23h: The purpose of dorkbot talks is to give all Art.on.Wires participants and local artists from Oslo a platform for informal presentation of their work. The evening is open to everyone and there is no entrance fee. Talks are strictly limited to 10min and 2min for questions afterwards. Talks must be registered on-site between 18h00 and 19h45 on Monday 10th.

Workshops

Art.on.Wires is structured into guided workshops which happen at the beginning of the festival, followed by spontaneously organised free workshops where people can gather to work on an idea or concept. See the workshop page for details.
