Still from Mato Atom’s Seagulls, 2013

Venue: Woburn Hall, Ground Floor, Senate House
Date: Saturday 27 February 2016
Time: 9:30am – 4:30pm

This day is dedicated to the investigation of the relationship between our bodies, the various screens we encounter and the images they bring us. Our gestures large and small, our habits, our ready adaptation to the infiltration of gadgets call up a series of questions as to how to approach research of Screen Media.
