Brief
Greg will break down the technologies and techniques of the previous night's
performance with Tom Kuo. He will trace the lineage backward in time toward
events, technologies, artists and cultures that have had an influence on his
work. This will weave in projects he participated in, such as Interactive
Dance Club (98), Prada Tokyo Epicenter with architects Herzog & de Meuron
(03), Plastikman (04), Rush (02 and 04) and Industry (99-01). As leader of
Derivative, the developer of the animation tool TouchDesigner, the talk will
also bring in the projects of artists who used TouchDesigner to produce
interactive artworks, including Crevice's White Room (02) and Noboru
Tsubaki's UN Boy (03).
