PluginHUMAN

How can art and technology help people be more socially and physically engaged? How can we disappear the interface? How can we create a sensory feedback loop for audiences? These are the questions that have driven Betty Sargeant’s work over the past three years.

In this forum talk Betty will talk about how she has investigated these questions, and her work as one half of PluginHUMAN, a media art and digital design team that develop immersive real-time media art using light and audio to augment participatory and interactive art installations.

This forum took place on 12 September 2018. A recording of the talk is available below.
