Course description
The focal point of this course is exploring tools and techniques for streaming and discussing it in the context of performance art.
Performance art often involves these basic elements: time, space, body, and presence of the artist, the relation between the creator and the audience. How do these dynamics change when the relationship between the creator and the audience takes place online?
The goal of this workshop is not only to discuss key concepts of performance art but also to recontextualize it for a digital environment and provide the tools to do so.
We will discuss the platforms, hardware and software (OBS, streamlabs, chatbots, voicemeeter, capture cards, green screens etc.) needed for streaming and try to apply them for ideas created during the workshop. By brainstorming and mind-mapping we will work together to figure out the possible intersections of the fields of performance art and streaming.
Depending on the group dynamics, by the end of the workshop we could stream either one or multiple pieces of performance art.
Practical information
We will have a laptop set up to be a streaming station, which we can use for the ideas we come up with, however, if you can bring a smartphone or a laptop - that could be really useful equipment.
We will travel to Nida Art Colony from Vilnius faculty of Vilnius Academy of Arts by bus and return to Vilnius afterwards. In Nida Art Colony we will live in shared dormitory style rooms and have a shared kitchen where we can prepare food together. There is a grocery store in the town of Nida.
