Curating in a digital age In this talk she talks about her practice of curating and how this practice has informed the generation of Tweak \u2013 an interactive art festival she established in 2008. With an increase in artists\u2019 use of multi-media and the internet, traditional fixed conditions of exhibitions and the role of curator have been altered. She discusses the influence of open source philosophies and methodologies on her practice and presents some of the challenges of curating and bringing new media art into alternative, non-institutional contexts, out of the white box of the museum.

The talk will outline my current practice and research-based Ph.D., which is being undertaken at the School of Art Design and Printing, DIT. The practical output revolves around a system called the \u2018Body Response System\u2019, (BRS) which uses pressure mats and video tracking to trigger sounds and visuals. The research element focuses on how art or media addresses one\u2019s person, with particular emphasis on active and embodied experience.
\nMaria Coleman is based in Donegal and is currently working on a Ph.D. entitled \u2018Body Responsive Media Environments\u2019. Her artistic output involves new media, visual art and music. Recent shows included the debut of her \u2018Body Response System\u2019 as part of Project Brand New and her design of an interactive stage for S\u00fagradh Arts & Media\u2019s show at Donegal\u2019s Bluestacks Festival. Upcoming work will see her collaborating with musician Se\u00e1n \u00d3g and dancer Niamh Condron on a piece called \u2018FreePlay\u2019 which is funded by the arts@DIT Award.\u00a0She is a member of the band \u2018Wee Small Gods\u2019, has a Degree in Sculpture from LSAD and an M.Phil in Music and Media Technology from TCD.<\/p>\n
