On Tuesday June 22, 2010 Meghan and Curtis will share how they approach interactive installations and how they often have to invent their own technology as part of the design process.
A growing trend in digital media is interactive video installations that completely rethink the way we view architecture, art, and music.
Meghan Athavale and Curtis Wachs of Po-Mo Project have spent several months assembling a team of local artists to create a scored animation to be projected across the Market Square Stage as well as other electronic architectural visualization venues. Join us on Tuesday, June 22 at 7 pm over at Aqua Books on 274 Garry Street, when we share the intricacies and beauty of designing live digital interactive installations.
You must register to attend this event as there is limited seating. There is no charge for NMM members, and non-members are $5 payable online. This charge it to cover admission and does not include food or beverages.
We'll get an analysis of Po-Mo Project's work for MEME - the Manitoba Electronic Music Exhibition running this June 17 - 20, 2010, at a variety of venues across Winnipeg. Po-Mo Project will demo and talk about their interactive installation experience on the Market Square Stage, their "Interactive Dragon" for this year's Folk Festival, and an Interactive Floor Demonstration they will be exhibiting in July at Winnipeg's Polo Park Mall.
Also joining us will be Sasa, from "5467896 Architecture" the Firm that built the new Market Square Stage, to share their vision for the stage and how Megan and Curtis came to be involved.
You are welcome to join us for a bite at "EAT! bistro" on the main floor of Aqua Books between 5 pm - 6:00 pm just prior to Megan's demonstration. There will be a cash bar in the Cafe Town Hall upstairs for our demo!
This is shaping up to be an amazing demo of light, animation, architecture, and new media. I am REALLY looking forward to Megan and Curtis' demo of their live interactive installations.
Hope to see you out!
Kevin
