22 MARCH with IGLOO

Igloo is an award winning British art collective interested in the 
visual and kinaesthetic applications of the computer, who develop their 
own software tools and methods of working and presenting. Igloo's 
methodologies for combining creative art forms bring theatrical 
experiences to new audiences, while they aim to create new methods of 
interaction, blurring the boundaries between spectator and participator.

They say:"It is important for us to innovate rather than adapt. To 
experiment with different formats & new methods of interaction. We take 
many risks with each new artwork (...). We believe in growing pieces 
rather than designing them, exploring ideas of being in other peoples 
stories, allowing audiences to join the dots, providing libraries of 
motion for play & provoking imagination so that certain things can be 
left unsaid."

THE THURSDAY CLUB is an open forum discussion group for anyone 
interested in the theories and practices of cross-disciplinarity, 
interactivity, technologies and philosophies of the state-of-the-art in 
today’s (and tomorrow’s) cultural landscape(s).
