“Technology and Playing: An Artist’s Presentation” by Bech

Tine Bech is a visual artist who works with interactive installations and public art. Her practice explores how we engage with our immediate environment. The work is intentionally accessible and often “hums and reacts with a playful anthropomorphic life that is liable to take you by surprise”. She uses interactive electronics and location-tracking technology, urban spaces, and environmental elements such as gravity, water, sound, and light to develop spaces where participation, play, and immersive experiences take place. In this presentation, she discusses her practice-based research, which explores artistic application of interactive technologies to create immersive and playful art experiences in public spaces and galleries.
