The Media/Art Kitchen in Manila is focused on contemporary art and technology directed to interact with the human sensorium, relating the "physical" to what is transmitted or perceived by the "sensorial", they said.
"A keen state of awareness or sensitivity emphasized by technology, the direction of motion, quantities, effects and sequences created by electricity, optics or simple machinery is intended to generate a state of awareness or feeling that one is in a specified state when confronted by simple technology," the release said.
Laboratories (Green Papaya Art Projects, 98B), Workshops/talks (De La Salle – College of Saint Benilde School of Design & Arts), as well as performances (Escolta) and Screenings (FDCP Cinematheque Baguio/IloIlo/Davao) are also scheduled to happen as part of the program.
SENSORIUM runs from November 8 to 24, 2013.
