WALLETS FULL OF BLOOD: ZOMBIE BANKER BLUES from aaronrip on Vimeo.
Scientists, troops and auditors arrive from abroad to investigate the total collapse of a small Republic.
They’re looking for ‘Fingers’. His actions had hastened the spiral of the country into a bottomless liquidity trap. They want to interrogate him.
Meanwhile an anonymous auditor, hiding out in one of the few sanctuaries which remain, spills the beans on the inhuman practices which led to the collapse.

Rachel O’Dwyer
Rachel O’Dwyer is doing a masters in Music and Media Technologies in Trinity.
I’ll be participating in Performing in the City, a roundtable on the role of mobile technologies in urban spatial practices in the Printing House Hall, Trinity ( map) on Tuesday 7th 11.00am-13.30pm
Contemporary understandings of ‘place’ have been problematised by the dissolution of spatial epistemology towards contingency, virtuality and technological determinations. Difficulties occur with the transformation of public places into ‘post-urban spaces’ without distinct meaning or social significance, so that to conceive of these places in terms of locality, community or individual agency becomes increasingly problematic.
The central relationship in the construction of these post-urban spaces is increasingly that between users and mobile technologies. If this is the case, then how must our understanding of community, location and agency with regard to place change and develop? How do users put mobile technologies to work as a means of marking, personalising and controlling place?
How might a design approach to human-technology-environment interactions produce strategies for structuring, inhabiting and developing meaningful places within the city? How might critical design and media art practices address post urban spaces?
The roundtable will be informal, consisting of short papers by four speakers responding to the main theme. This will be followed by an open discussion.
Panellists: Conor McGarrigle, Digital Media Artist DIT; Rob Kitchin, Cultural Geographer NUIM; Sven Anderson, sound artist TCD; Linda Doyle, Electronic Telecommunications Engineer TCD
Chair: Martin McCabe, DIT fellow Gradcam
The roundtable is being organised by Rachel O’Dwyer, attendance is open to all but space is limited so booking is advised to book emailrachel.odwyer[AT]gmail.com
