Session Description: https://dac.siggraph.org/sparks/2024-09-future-of-reality-artist-talks/

In The Production of Space Henri LeFebvre described the complex ways in which space is perceived, conceived, and experienced. This mutually constitutive and dynamic social process affects both the built environment and socio-cultural relations within it. For decades theorists of both urban geographies and the landscapes of cyberspace have taken inspiration from his ideas to think about how spaces become places at a moment in time. Artwork that engages concepts of space and place has been energized by thinking through these dynamic relations in installations, site-based experiences, virtual art, and other forms. Today the boundaries between these productive forces of space and experience are increasingly blurred, as physical space and virtual space boundaries overlap; space design itself becomes generative and democratized; and lived experience within them is both participatory and reactive. Virtual worlds, 3D models, animations, reality capture imaging, sensors, and intelligent agents of all kinds are converging to create post-truths, digital twins, and doppelgängers to the material world, and are co-constituting our experiences within and outside of it. How are artists engaging information as data – structuring new grammatical languages as code, formulating the future of reality from A.I. into the era of Quantum computing?

Additional Information:

This SPARKS will feature several of the artists accepted into the ACM SIGGRAPH DAC sponsored online exhibition, Future of Reality: Post-Truths, Digital Twins, and Doppelgängers. This online exhibition debuted at SIGGRAPH 2024 with a kiosk in the Art Gallery and an on-site SIGGRAPH Village discussion session.
