user_mode
= emotion + intuition in art + design
An International Symposium
9–11 May 2003
Tate Modern
London, UK
A collaboration between Central Saint Martins
College of Art
& Design and Tate Modern.
Artists, designers and critics frequently
refer to ‘emotional
engagement’. What is meant by this? Is it immersion, rapture,
agency, reflection? This question is crucial to interactive art and
design practice where the user's response is sensitive to
context and cannot only infuence the form and content of the
work but also, in some cases, the future direction of
technological development.
user_mode will examine one of the key concerns
for many
creative practitioners – engaging the emotions of the
audience|user. It will aim to locate techniques, instruments,
contexts and terms to provide clearer insight into this theme.
user_mode will provide an opportunity to hear from
internationally renowned artists, designers and theorists as
well as emerging practitioners.
Performances and demonstrations featuring
artists, designers,
architects, researchers and technicians presenting their works
will complement panel discussions.
This website will be regularly updated. Visit again for news,
programme information and announcements about the
participants.
