Code Convergence
The latest immersive art installation at ARTECHOUSE is Future Sketches/Code Poems by renowned Artist, Researcher & Educator Zach Lieberman and his MIT Media Lab students. It takes the viewer into a mesmerizing exploration of coding and animation, and celebrates the convergence of art and technology. The exhibition is divided into 19 distinctive installations that allow visitors to explore how code plays a role in creativity. Throughout two floors of interactive installations, guests can try things such as amplifying their gestures; make drawings come to life; imagine what their voice might look like if they could see it; and transform silhouettes into music. Drawing from over a decade of work and research in media art, the exhibition explores how technology can transform the human body, voice, and gesture in expressive and imaginative ways and leaves viewers asking: “What does code feel like?”; ARTECHOUSE.com.
