Thesis Title: This is not here: Connectedness, Remote Experience and Immersive Telematic Art
About
I am a designer, artist and researcher working with digital media. My background are Visual Communication and Digital Media Design and i studied at the University of the Arts Berlin and spent an memorable and rewarding time at KISD, the Cologne International School of Design. In 02006 I completed my Ph.D. research into an immersive telematic environment at Sheffield Hallam University with some minor amendments.
In my research i position my own work within a framework of theory from other disciplines such as Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Art History and Media Arts. Here I look at how, for example, telematic experiences which encompass a wide range of applications from Telepresence to Virtual Reality are described. I use visual methods such as diagrams to categorise these into Telematic Art, Transformation Art and Global Awareness Art, pointing out
their intrinsic capabilities of not only extending our limited human senses to sense data from remote locations, but also to create global awareness experiences via a sensual engagement together with a rational one.
Presently I am investigating the link between 'calm technologies' and 'presence indication' in the digital-social sphere. How can we indicate the connectedness of remote parties in sensual and vivid ways without this 'display' being overly intrusive?
