In Serial On Track

BACKGROUND

In Serial formed during the first eMobilArt workshop, in Athens 2008. EMobilArt (European Mobile Lab for Interactive Media Artists) provided a framework for collaboration and project support for over 30 artists who formed groups to create artworks.

In Serial members: Linda Dement, Petra Gemeinboeck, PRINZGAU/podgorschek and Marion Tränkle, draw on backgrounds in architecture, choreography, dance, theatre, arts computing, sculptural installation, photography and interaction design. Our work, its conception and articulation, has emerged from some of the seaming elements of these diverse fields: the performativity of movement, the interaction of movements, and their metonymic relations to culture, technology and society.

As a group we are interested in the machinic, the electronic, robotics, systems theory, uncontrollable fluids and escalating generative interactions between non-human protagonists. Our work attempts to push at the edges of the use of electronic media, extending notions of interaction and agency and utilising materials apparently contra-indicated.
