Drawing Futures is a new international peer-reviewed conference on speculative drawing for art and architecture. Chaired by Professor Frédéric Migayrou, Laura Allen and Luke Pearson, the inaugural Drawing Futures Conference will be held on 11-12 November 2016 at The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL.
Despite numerous developments in technological manufacture and
computational design that provide new grounds for art and architecture,
the act of drawing still plays a central role as a vehicle for
speculation. There is a rich and long history of drawing that is tied to
innovations in technology as well as to revolutions in our
philosophical understanding of the world. In reflection of a society now
underpinned by computational networks and interfaces allowing hitherto
unprecedented views of the world, the changing status of the drawing and
representation as a political act demands a platform for reflection and
innovation.
This 2-day conference will focus on the discussion of how the field of drawing may expand synchronously alongside technological and computational developments. Bringing together practitioners from many creative fields, the conference will discuss how drawing is changing in relation to new technologies for the production and dissemination of ideas.
Far from killing it, technology promises new avenues for the drawn as a speculative method – and its futures are ours to shape.
Keynote speakers
Hsinming Fung, Pablo Bronstein, Neil Spiller and Madelon Vriesendorp.
