Kevin Hamilton will be conducting a series of conversation-based walking tours with both a physical and online component. Interested in participatory web-mediated communication between diverse public spaces, the piece will intervene at the social level in order to study and expose the epistemological conditions that make possible the perception of shared space or time Through artworks, organized events and lectures, performances, street- actions, and teaching, Kevin Hamilton explores how human agency is constructed or denied through new technologies of liveness or representation.

Kevin Hamilton teaches at the University of Illinois. His work has included a symposium series about Walking, and the creation of interactive artworks for gallery and public settings across Europe and North America. His scholarship includes research on methodologies of interdisciplinary collaboration, and on manifestations of “absence” in contemporary and historical telecommunication technologies.
