Live Reactive Euphoria

Join an interactive artist talk with Wrynn Geswin, exploring her artistic process and breaking down her multimodal projection mapping practice. Through the exploration of her recent thesis exhibition, Deer-Machine-Ecosystem, Wrynn will explore several aspects of the work, ranging from the cultural: euphoria of queer existence, existing within alternative communities, and alternate gallery spaces; to the technical: manipulating paintings with projection, live reactive installation, and the technicality of media control systems. With audience participation, Wrynn will live code a small installation that uses similar techniques to explore the projection stage with the input of other artists’ brains.
