Vision Forum returns to the UK
Vision Forum is happy that the we can return to the UK for 4 day workshop in London and Oxford October 6-9, 2025. In both cities we will focus on upcoming music and performance events. In London the group will work more with the EEGsynth and prepare for upcoming performances in Europe and the Middle East. In Oxford we will partners that we have not worked with in a long time. The work will eventually lead to a one day event at the Belsyre Garage in centre of the academic town. During the event performers from the Nordic countries and the UK show their work together. The project’s artists are held together by a shared interest in how artistic expressions can contribute to deeper insights into how digital technology is shaping our daily life. Two questions become more pertinent every day: What are the possibilities? What are the dangers?
In reflecting on these questions, art has the advantage that it can approach the questions practically rather than philosophically. The goal is therefore to deepen the debate about mankind’s relationship to technology by creating and presenting performances that use technology as an integral part of the presentation. (e.g. digital musical instruments, live 3D imaging, VR and repurposed medical technologies.) Art also has a long history of using technology in creative ways that was not intended by its designers (methods that go against the intended use of technology.)
