Tim Boykett - The Feeling of Being Here, Doing This, Right Now:
Real-time Real-world Interactivity
Tim Boykett was born and grew up in Australia. He is a founding member
of the internationally acclaimed Time’s Up collective, who produce
innovative art installations/experiences. His interests are between
the areas of mathematics and media art, performance and interaction.
Tims talk will introduce Time’s Up’s body of work, from the
physicality of the Hyperfitness Studio and the enclosed real
virtuality of SPIN (Spherical Projection Interface), to the Sensory
Circus and the online game environment experiments that challenge our
notion of physical spaces.
Tim will describe both the ideas behind these works as well as the
hardware and software details. Tools will be introduced briefly and
techniques for interactive development will be discussed. This
presentation will be of interest to those interested in compelling
experiences in mixed reality worlds.
Tim Boykett’s attendance is sponsored by the Australian Network for
Art and Technology (ANAT), as part of the the Creativity and Cognition
Studios /ACID symposium, ENGAGE: Interaction, Art, and Audience
Experience.
