Transformer Talk #2 - April 21 - 5PM
Of Public Interest: Interactive Experiences to Engage People + Place
Wednesday, April 21, 2021
5:00 PM – 6:30 PM EDT
Zoom Webinar
As we begin to gather and inhabit outdoor spaces again, this session considers the ways that artists, creative technologists, festivals, and other placed-based creative organizations are reinventing the interactivity and physicality of developing works for the public realm. This session also takes a look at the way we engage in memorializing the complex histories and geographies of people through public art, monuments, and storytelling, with an emphasis on hybrid digital/physical approaches.
