George Khut at Student Centre

Interactive Art Workshop

with Dr George Poonkhin Khut

University of New South Wales Art & Design, Sydney, Australia

 

When:

Thursday February 12th

10:00am – 1:00pm and then 1:30 – 4:00pm

 

Where: UFS Student Centre, Thakaneng Bridge

Opposite ABSA Bank, and next to the computer shop

Making interactive art with sensors: controlling sounds and graphics with heart beats, breath, brainwaves, and other sensor technologies.

Dr Khut is visiting Bloemfontein this month as a guest of the Vryfees and the UFS Programme for Innovation in Artform Development (PIKO/PIAD), developing an interactive art event for the 2016/17 festival.

Dr Khut specialises in the use of body-sensing technologies to create interactive artworks that enable us to explore interactions between body and mind: audio-visual artwork that respond to changes in people’s stress and relaxation reflexes and brainwave activity.

In this workshop Dr Khut will show examples of his body-focussed interactive artworks, discuss the theoretical issues underpinning this work, and demonstrate the tools and techniques used to development of these works: how to extract information from sensor data, and how use this information to amplify and transform our experience of the body with interactive sounds and visuals.
