About this Event
The 3-part performance and workshop series is designed to expose Northwestern University audiences to professional artists with technology-enhanced practices, and to provide participants with the skills and on-campus resources that enable innovative humanities research. Each event will pair a performance and discussion led by a technology-focused professional performance artist, with a hands-on skills-based workshop led by Northwestern University faculty or staff. The workshops will allow participants to engage technologies such as: motion capture, 3D digitization and printing, artificial intelligence and mechatronics – merging technological skill sets with critical discussions around artistry, humanity, and social possibilities.
Artists: April 16 - Ben Baker, April 30- Eto Otitigbe, May 14- LaJuné McMillian
