Digital Performance Weekender

The Digital Performance Weekender is an annual festival at Watermans in where you're invited to see and take part in exciting new media arts events around a single theme. This year's festival explores Big Data through an artistic lens. What does Big Data mean for our society? Is our data safe? How will it impact future generations? And lots more.
This year’s Weekender will include performances, installations and participatory events, for everyone from new media natives to young children or digital refusniks. Event highlights include a solo adaptation of Alexander Whitley's visually striking and kinetically charged choreography The Measures Taken, which saw sell out runs at Sadlers Wells and the Royal Opera House, a chance to go on a virtual reality adventure with CREW's C.a.p.e. and Anna Dumitriu's new work Sequence that fuses leading edge digital technology with bacterial bioart.
If you’re an expert in new media arts or working on being one, the Symposium is unmissable, bringing together an expert panel to discuss issues around data privacy. Almost all the events are free.
