Helen Varley Jamieson:
Pioneering cyberformance artist Helen Varley Jamieson takes us back to the turn of the century and the beginnings of her adventures in cyberformance - before social media, before YouTube, before the Covid19 pandemic. She will talk about how she entered this field, why she coined the term “cyberformance”, and how she and her collaborators created the cyberformance platform UpStage in 2003. Leaping forward to today, she will introduce the online collaborative project Mobilise/Demobilise and the rebuild of UpStage, which will be launched in September 2021.
