Tamiko Thiel, an MIT engineer redefining art through technology and imagination.
17:30 – Guided tour of the installation: “Waldwandel/Forest Flux” on the Belval site, with the artist.
Meeting point: Place de Hauts Fourneaux
18:30 – Public Lecture and Q&A followed by networking:
Innovating in design and computing, AR art as critical and social media?
Tamiko Thiel will show how she uses various forms of augmented reality (AR) technology to engage visitors in an interplay between the site and the virtual artwork, to evoke multiple layers of memory and meaning. The artworks are immersive experiences that engage not just the visual and aural senses, but also the kinesthetic sense – the visitors’ awareness of their body in space. Her installations range from immersive spaces to wall-sized projections to works visible in what she calls “ARscopes” – mobile tablets and smartphones transformed into devices with which, just like micro-scopes and tele-scopes, we can see layers of experience that are normally invisible to our naked eyes.
