When we design our
urban environment, we believe that our experience of our surroundings is a function of what is physically built, but we must
also admit that it is a function of how our minds are conditioned to experience these surroundings. Elliot will discuss some
examples of works he has designed at Studio Kimchi and Chips to alter the way we tell the difference between images and reality,
and the way in which we develop our world view.
Elliot Woods (UK) is a digital media artist from
Manchester UK.He graduated with a Masters from the School of Physics and Astronomy and entered the arts following the founding
of studio Kimchi and Chips in 2009 where he currently tests alternative relationships between images and reality. Here he
participates in conceptual and technical design of projects, and develops techniques in computer vision, machine learning
and robotics. His works reveal the implicit nature of systems therein suggesting to audiences revelatory experiences about
nature and reality. He has created large scale light field art installations which draw floating images of the sun out of
sunlight, or moons from 600 calibrated projector beams. Elliot has contributed to the openFrameworks and VVVV creative coding
platforms and has released over 100 open source libraries for free on GitHub.
