Invited to deliver two workshops at Northeastern University London to students on Art and Innovation. The two workshops delivered were designed to show students the link between art and technical innovation.
Artists are and always have been at the forefront of innovation - by challenging the forms and functions of new technologies - they are giving them fascinating applications.
We looked at the role of the artist in innovation from cave painting to artificial intelligence and quantum computing. Demonstrating how Rock Badger - takes ideas out of art, into commercial contexts to build exciting products that tackle issues like climate change and create new communication tools.
Students responded to the challenge: to create a piece of immersive art for a client of their choice to increase audience engagement. It was fantastic to see such exciting responses to the brief - ranging from game design, data visualisation to augmented reality experiences.
