Greer McKeogh Community, Hospitality and the Outsider
My research explores art practice
in relation to contemporary interpretations of hospitality and community
identity. It attempts to understand notions of hospitality, and the role of and
reception of an ‘outsider’, through observing artists’ ability to identify and
negotiate areas of critical reflection from an outsider position. To
demonstrate ways of receiving and articulating hospitality, I undertake
site-specific dialogues within rural communities in Ireland, which coalesce as
a research and practice framework called The Hotel. The
Hotel is a physical starting point for dialogue and a method of art
practice in a localised context, locating itself where the identity of a hotel
has differing and contested notions for the surrounding community.

This presentation looks at what it
might mean to map the full range of clothing practices associated with a
community and place. How might such interactions which are often overlooked and
at the margins be visualized through mapping and art practice?
Matt Parker Sonospheric studies of media
infrastructure ecologies
Description: This presentation will
look at a series of field work visits at major sites of internet infrastructure
in Europe. What can be gained by thinking about the infrastructure of the
Internet, through vibration? How might sound highlight the complexity, intimacy
and emotional texture of the relations between the self and environment?
