Hosting the DRHA Conference is an opportunity for the University to draw on local and central London resources to highlight the rich diversity of projects which focus on sophisticated digital techniques, technologies, audiences and users. An investment of £2million by Brunel in the newly expanded laboratory facilities, housed in the Antonin Artaud Building, provide new performance studio-laboratories that enable body-centred, physical research as well as the design of human-computer performance interfaces. The 2010 conference reflects the university’s mission of innovative and cutting edge research in its theme of ‘Sensual Technologies: Collaborative Practices of Interdisciplinarity’. This is also prevalent throughout the programme with the many varied and excellent papers, performances and installations reflecting this theme and additionally, there is a specific focus on discussions in and around Second Life.

Presentations from our outstanding Keynote speakers are pivotal to the theme centring on ‘Sensual Technologies’ in a variety of ways.

The local committee led by Professor Sue Broadhurst draws on considerable expertise in events management and marketing to provide a lively and interesting programme.
