Watch Party: Chagall @ Creative Informatics Innovation Showcase
For this week’s Design Informatics research seminar, we are doing something a bit different. On the 28th and 29th September many colleagues across the Institute are participating in and attending the Creative Informatics Innovation Showcase. Rather than run a hybrid seminar at the same time, we will host a live “watch party” (in-person only in Inspace) for Chagall’s in conversation and live performance, which ends the first day of the showcase. We thought this would be nice for those unable to attend the event itself for the whole day, but would still like to watch this end of the day session with others. Chagall’s work is fascinating and simply fantastic.
If you’d like to watch Chagall’s in conversation and performance with others at Inspace, then please register with us!
More about the event
Singer and producer Chagall brings captivating physicality and human intimacy to electronic music as she blends live vocal performance with stunning interactive light-art. She’ll be in conversation with Edinburgh Futures Institute, Director of Creative, Caroline Parkinson before presenting a short performance from Unlocked – the new immersive light-art installation and performance controlled with live body and hand movements through motion capture technology.
Chagall
Chagall puts a beating heart in music & technology. She sings, composes, dances, programs, experiments and paves her way through everything that is human. Captivating, playful and intimate; every performance by Chagall is a spectacular audio-visual experience that inspires and connects.
Chagall has no educational background in either music or technology, but is a living example that technology, computer programming and electronics can be mastered if you know what you want to get from it.
