Keynote Speaker Natalie Jeremijenko
Natalie Jeremijenko, 1999 Rockefeller Fellow, is an inventor and engineer whose work focuses on the design and analysis of tangible digital media. Her strength is the demonstrable ability to bridge between the technical worlds and the art world. Jeremijenko's mission is to reclaim technology from the idealised, abstract concept of 'cyberspace' and apply it to the messy complexities of the real world, often with disquieting results. Her project Stump, a software programme which 'rewards' the user with a single tree ring every time a tree's worth of paper is used, building up to an entire tree stump, comments on our shared illusion that the digital world is somehow clean and 'paperless'. |
