Hot Wired Live Art (HWLA) is a worklab model
used to devise networked, social and performative environments through
the process of collective experimentation. The HWLA network is an international
and multidisciplinary group of artists, technologists and researchers
whose on-line and off-line art projects make use of digital technologies
like streaming media, electronics, live video and audio processing and
multi-user environments combined with lo-tech and even no-tech platforms.
The aim of HWLA is to take advantage of the diverse pool of knowledge
to develop digital environments in which performance could take place,
and to strengthen the ground for further collaborations between artists
of diverse backgrounds and abodes. The first Hot Wired Live Art (HWLA)
worklab, initiated by Amanda Steggell and Per Platou of Motherboard
took place in Bergen, Norway, in January, 2000. The second HWLA worklab,
initiated by Michelle Teran, took place at The Banff Centre for the
Arts in August, 2001.
