Shadowlands

A Talk by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer
ICA Theatre
Saturday 15 November, 4pm
 
To tie in with Under Scan, the large scale public installation in
Trafalgar Square, the artist Rafael Lozano-Hemmer is giving at talk at
the ICA.

He will curate a screening of moving-image works that have inspired his
work. Following an open discussion, join the artist to experience his
latest interactive shadow-installation Under Scan, in Trafalgar Square.
Lozano-Hemmer develops large-scale interactive installations in public
space, usually deploying new technologies and custom-made physical
interfaces. Using robotics, projections, sound, internet and
mobile-phone links, sensors and other devices, his installations aim to
provide "temporary antimonuments for alien agency". Lozano-Hemmer is an
eloquent and enthusiastic speaker and this is one talk that's not to be
missed.
