About

Transmitter is an international digital lab conducted by Serendipity Arts Foundation (India) and Darwin Festival (Australia), supported by the Australia Council for the Arts. The provocation is to interrogate the relationship between technology and the body and how this relationship might become a creative catalyst for performance in both virtual and physical spaces. Our engagement with the arts has shifted radically in the last year and opened up opportunities beyond the physical space of art-making, to use technology to interpret one’s practice and examine how we adapt ourselves in this hybrid space. We’re interested in investigating how artistic process and spatial relationships are informed by technology.

Transmitter: Darwin x Delhi - Building relationships in digital realms

Recorded by the Australian Performing Arts Market (APAM) for the APAM Gathering at Darwin Festival, the panel discussion moderated by Jeff Khan (Performance Space) looks at the growth of international relationships and creative practice via the digital realm. Two artists from India and two from Australia come together following a lab-intensive to share their creative insights and learnings on working across continents in pandemic times.

Transmitter: Darwin x Delhi is supported by Serendipity Arts Foundation, Australia Council, and Darwin Festival.
