Digital Dish @ Ljudmila: Chris Sugrue: Artist Talk
Thursday, May 26, 6 pm, 2011 at Mestna galerija Ljubljana
Chris Sugrue is an artist and programmer developing interactive installations, audio-visual performance and experimental interfaces. Her works experiment with technology in playful and magical ways sometimes exploring themes of the real versus the virtual and investigating topics such as artificial life, eye-tracking and electromagnetics. Chris works both individually as an artist as well as on collaborative projects, and actively teaches in the area of visual and creative programming.
Chris will speak about her past works in new media art and her working process as both a coder (in c++!) and visual artist.

Chris Sugrue je umetnica in programerka razvijalka interaktivnih instalacij, avdiovizualnih performansov in eksperimentalnih vmesnikov. V svojih delih se na igriv in čaroben način poigrava s tehnologijo v raziskovanju odnosa med realnim in virtualnim in raziskuje področja umetnega življenja, vizualnega sledenja in elektromagnetizma. Chris deluje kot samostojna umetnica in kot članica kolaborativnih projektov ter aktivna poučuje o vizualnem in ustvarjalnem programiranju.
Chris bo predstavila svoja obstoječa novomedijska dela ter orisala svoje doživljanje ustvarjalnega procesa kot programerka (v c++!) in vizualna umetnica.
