Dive into this artist talk where I'll share my experience as an interdisciplinary artist, working with technology. Drawing on my practice and work, I will explore additional aspects of developing an artistic practice, from conceptual thinking and visual analysis to creating meaning, producing work, developing partnerships, and putting your world out there, in a way that shifts perspectives, at least, for yourself.
The session will be: (1) an introduction to my research and references (2) open floor discussion on the topics (3) a short prototyping session (4) ending reflection!
Materials: Your computer or your cellphone, and any ideas.
