CS547 Human-Computer Interaction Seminar (Seminar on People, Computers, and Design)
Fridays 12:50-2:05 · Gates B01 · Open to the public
|
October 15, 2004
Scott Snibbe will present recent works that explore interaction between cinematic
projections and viewers’ bodies. He will also show a selection of previous
works from 1990 through 2003 that allow similarly visceral engagement with
media art. Working with technologies at the forefront of contemporary research
including computer vision and synthetic touch, Snibbe explores how a minimal
intrusion of technology can provide insight into the nature of observer's
minds and their sense of self. Works shown will range from large-scale body-centric
physical installations to interactive sculpture and screen- and web-based
interactive graphics.
