"Body, Space and Cinema"

Scott Snibbe will present recent works that explore interaction between cinematic projections and viewers' bodies along with his most recent work, "Blow Up," which amplifies human breath as a large field of wind. He will discuss the philosophical divide between language and visceral perception that motivates his creation of interactive 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.
