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.
