About Dialogue:
Dialogue is an event that showcases current work produced by the Switch collective and other invited artists in order to disseminate and create discussion around some of the current research undertaken by the group. The night takes a cross platform approach where interactive content sits beside live performance and audio-visual screen based work, thus creating a dialogue between these practices, unifying the current themes being explored within the Switch collective.
Dialogue is a monthly event that is hosted at The Attic in Stokes Croft, Bristol. This renowned venue is tailored to the unique requirements of the event, using multiple projection screens and sound systems to create many separate pools of activity. This provides the audience with vast amounts of visual and audible content from all areas of the building whilst also allowing each piece a considered space within the context of the event.
Dialogue is a networking event and is focused on creating relations with industry practitioners and organizations through public exhibition of work. Current affiliations include Future Music Lab research and Coexist at Hamilton House, whilst connections have been made with the Arnolfini and the Pervasive Media Studio regarding current practice.
The event draws in an eclectic audience ranging from contemporary arts curators and media executives to students interested in the sonic and fine art practices. The event attempts to facilitate conversation between theses groups providing the opportunity for collaboration and external partnership. The event format also provides the opportunity for in-development and beta projects to receive direct feedback from the audience/users, an invaluable process in project development.
