We have released the much anticipated video documentation of the conference Live Art & the Cyborg Body on YouTube. Pulling together an international and multidisciplinary group of artists and academics who explore the idea of the cyborg in its most expanded forms, the conference explored the boundaries of the natural and the artificial, the social and the virtual, the private and the public. The speakers discuss how these polarized sites have been used as a tool to rigorously and creatively engage with self-representation, by re-imagining and destabilising gender norms, sexual politics, racial paradigms, physical (dis)abilities, health, our relationship to death and the occult.
Conference participants:
Dr. Jennifer Parker-Starbuck
FoxGlove & Pure Venom

As part of the live art event and multidisciplinary exhibition Deep Trash from Outer Space that took place at Bethnal Green Working Men’s Club on Saturday 22nd October 2016.
