jihui - Digital Salon
presents
Marek Walczak

Friday, March 28, 2003 7 PM
@ Parsons Center for New Design
55 West 13th Street, 9th Fl.
New York, NY 10011
Live Webcast @ http://agent.netart-init.org starts 7pm EST.

Marek Walczak will talk about the relationship between architecture, social
space, and interactivity – specifically, the interactive wall for 7 World
Trade Center and other urban projects. Marek Walczak and his team recently
won the competition for "Dialog," an interactive table for the Walker Art
Center which includes a shared, gesture-based interface for thematic
explorations (and makes postcards).

Marek Walczak was trained as an architect and worked for several years for
James Carpenter Design Assoc., creating large-scale public artworks before
being enticed into the Web, where he worked with Martin Wattenberg on
"Apartment," a project that has been shown in the US and Europe and will be
part of the upcoming New York Digital Salon 10th anniversary exhibition.

jihui (the meeting point), a self-regulated digital salon, invites all
interested people to send ideas for discussion/performance/etc.
jihui is where your voice is heard and your vision shared.
jihui is sponsored by Digital Design Department and Center for New
Design @ Parsons School of Design

jihui is organized by agent.netart (http://agent.netart-init.org), a joint
public program by NETART INITIATIVE and INTELLIGENT AGENT
