This year we are examining three key themes across the programme;

*Relationships*
/How can introducing interactive and networked technologies throughout the creative process enable a more meaningful relationship with audiences? How can technology foster interaction between people, rather than just interaction with the artwork itself?/

*Ownership*
/What do networked and interactive technologies mean for the ownership of artworks and performances? Who is the author when co-creating, sharing and making work interactively? Do technologies enable new kinds of audience agency? How does the use of creative technologies redefine the notion of participatory arts practice?/

*Power*
/Can technologies be a democratising force in the arts world? Can technology redefine the arts establishment, challenge our models of power and distribution, build new audience and enable new ways of working?/

Tickets just £13.50 (£6.50 concs) with free tea and coffee all day

/Random String is supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England and by the Coventry City Council Project Development Grant programme, building capacity for Coventry’s bid for City of Culture 2021./
