DESCRIPTION:Prof. Jeffrey Shaw\n\nTitle: Trajectories of New Media Art\n\n
 Abstract:\nNew Media Art today offers a spectrum of perceptual experiences
  that forge new levels of heightened perception based on innovative method
 s of presenting and exchanging information. Media Art utilizes new technol
 ogies to reformulate space and time as a surrogate experience\, enabling t
 he interactive viewer to become immersed and enlivened by these mediated f
 ormations. In his talk Professor Shaw will elucidate the range of his over
  50-year art practice\, showing examples of work that research the reformu
 lation of narrative as an aesthetics of emergent interaction\, co-creation
  and embodiment. The trajectories of Media Art since the early 60’s enga
 ge fundamental topics that include: the body of viewer and its engagement 
 with the artwork\, the conjunction between the virtual and the real\, pros
 thetic representation and augmented perception\, social intervention and c
 ultural rehabilitation\, the disappearance of the past and displacement of
  the present by the future\, narrative after storytelling\, technology’s

 iality.\n\nBio:\nProfessor Jeffrey Shaw has been one of the leading figure
