Sara Diamond, Director of Research, Banff Centre and Artistic Director, Media and Visual Arts, Banff New Media Institute, will discuss her ongoing work in the area of interdisciplinary collaboration, focusing on her current artistic practice, the CodeZebra collaborative software and performance environment. Drawn from Ms. Diamonds considerable experience in facilitating a wide range of practices that merge art, technology and science, this project explores the ways that individuals and groups can effectively collaborate across disciplines, drawing from collaboration studies. The CodeZebra suite currently includes performances, collaboration software, wearable and ubiquitous technology designs, and continues to expand into new domains. Diamond will connect this project to general research in art and science collaboration and present a few examples of Code Zebra implementation. Presentations of CodeZebra have included Digital Bodies, Ludwig Museum, Budapest, Hungary, as a dance, text and software performance; Future Physical, UK, as part of dance club and conference events and at the DEAF Festival, Rotterdam, Netherlands as a habituation cage event, locking up artists and scientists with two way moderated streams; and a conference about CodeZebra, role-playing and visualization at University of Turku, Finland.

Her video installation and video works reside in the collections of the National Gallery of Canada, Vancouver Art Gallery, and Museum of Modern Art, NYC, and many international galleries, universities and colleges.
