Saturday, April 16th2PM-3PM Keynote Panel: Past & Future Applications of Immersive Displays, 3D Visualizations, & Live Image Processing with Michael Naimark, Kathleen Ruiz, Luke DuBois, & Jaanis Garancs |
BioKathleen Ruiz is an internationally exhibiting media artist who creates simulations, games, sculpture and photography which explore multiple facets of perception. She poses questions about the oxymoron of virtual violence, catharsis, and desensitization in simulated space. Her work portrays the promise of technology as well as its frightening, fascinating and humorous contradictions. Kathleen presents simulations which open up interactive, multi dimensional game space as a place for resonating ideas where multiple viewpoints can be explored and expanded. She challenges us to simultaneously see the perspectives of observer, observed and the process of observation. Kathleen is the recipient of numerous awards including the Mid-Atlantic Arts Foundation Award, the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs Percent for Art Commission, the Experimental Television Center Grant, and the New York State Council on the Arts Grant. Her work was recently sponsored by Sony Computer Entertainment. She is a founding member of the ErGoGenics Game Research Group designing games for fitness, fun and education. Kathleen is an Associate Professor of Electronic Arts at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute where she develops and teaches courses in simulation, experimental game design, digital media and related areas. |
