Michelle Teran
Born in Canada, Michelle Teran explores the interaction between media and social networks in urban environments. She develops performances via the staging of urban interventions such as guided tours, walks, open-air projections, participatory installations and happenings. She has received numerous grants and awards for her work including the Prix Ars Electronica honorary mention for Interactive Arts, 2nd prize in the Vida 8.0 Art & Artificial Life International Competition (Madrid) and the 2010 Transmediale Award. She currently lives and works in Berlin.
For 'Tracing Mobility' Michelle Teran proposes to experience each city from different perspectives; through its streets, its people and through the media that infiltrates it. She will view it from above, at street level and hopefully from within various private spaces. She hopes to go on walks, have encounters, be invited for tea, collaborate, play and experiment. She intends to map, interview, discuss and perform. She doesn't know yet what she's looking for or what she will find, but this is part of the intrigue and process of exploration.
Please be seated @ 11am sharp. Late comers will not be admitted. First come first served basis.
