EVENT DETAILS |
INTERchange is an ongoing series focusing on artists working at the intersection of physical & virtual spaces. Through artist talks, discussions, & media we explore how new technologies inform & extend creative practice. We live in a world increasingly stratified by virtual layers of social, political, & economic culture. INTERchange hopes to understand how virtual & physical spaces are synthesized into new cultural forms.
Adam Shecter will be discussing the inspiration for his Virtual Reality animated film "Satellites," as well as offer VR viewings of the work in progress after the talk.
Adam Shecter's work has explored time-based forms using video, animation, GIFs, & more recently VR. His use of unconventional timelines & narratives are often supported by sci-fi inspired themes & frameworks.
