Event Swirl - Eventscoring with Peter Frank, Magdalena Holdar, Aga Wielocha

I would like to cordially invite you to the second meeting in a series around the "Event Swirl" application - the project, which is the result of my research for my PhD at the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław (supervisors: prof. ASP Tomasz Opania and prof. dr. Hubertus von Amelunxen).

Together with Magdalena Holdar, Peter Franks, and Aga Wielocha, we will try to take a closer look at the idea of performing and preserving event scores. How can we use them contemporarily, and whether it is possible to store Fluxus's legacy in our bodies.

"Event Swirl" is an interactive communication method inspired by the main principles of Fluxus. Each user of the application can take part in a game/event (inspired by the Fluxus Event Score), in which the responses can be in the form of images, video or sound. During the meeting, you will learn more about the entire platform, why it was created, and how to use it, and we will also test live how it works!

Realized with the support of the Minister of Culture and National Heritage Republic of Poland and Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Art and Design.

I encourage you to sign up the application: https://eventswirl.com/
