XIV biennial of Young Artists in Skopje, Macedonia

Challenging Space in the Era of Google Maps

Trampoline will be part of a group of selected individuals and art organisations representing the UK at the Young Artists Biennial this year in Skopje.

Hosting the 6 hour workshop “Challenging Space in the Era of Google Maps”, Canadian artist Michelle Teran will guide a group of 15 participants through practical, participatory and theoretical examples of the way that the use of advanced location based technologies in cities has given rise to an emergent form of physical terrain that we can call hybrid space.

The participants will be taken on an exploration of the city (via the internet and via a city walk) in a hunt for local broadcasts tracked via YouTube and Google Maps. Finding them, mapping them, understanding the narrative - Michelle and Trampoline's Mat Trivett will weave together a new mesh of ideas from the threads connecting hybrid spaces.

The participants are invited to bring their digital devices.

Fri 4th Sep / 1-7pm at Creativity House, Conference Room, Skopje, Macedonia
