Digital Performance Residency
Laser Unicorns – Immersive Digital Performance
Artist Residency with AΦE (AE)
11th November 2016 saw artists from across multiple disciplines take part in a one-day scratch residency in partnership with AΦE as part of the Digital Weekender.
Held at Watermans, London, the residency provided a space for developing ideas, engaging in dialogue and nurturing practices relating to immersive digital performance. Ashford-based dance company AΦE (founded by Esteban Fourmi and Aoi Nakamura) worked with members of the Laser Unicorns to provide artists a chance to experiment and develop work, and gave participants the opportunity to share findings as part of a Digital Arts Symposium, which ran at Watermans the following day.
The residency was a chance to extend the Laser Unicorns collective, by connecting fellow artists in the field whom would be interested in sharing their ideas.
