Visual Art, Multimedia Installation

The CFC Media Lab’s interactive installations featured in Technological Displacement at The Bata Shoe Museum will explore acoustic, phonetic, and visual/physical spaces as a collision between old and new environments using digital technologies. Projects range from taking the ethereal phonetic text message and converting it into an object to a visual exploration of deep space using the whole body as the navigational instrument on a screen.

On the eve of the centenary anniversary of Marshall McLuhan’s life, the father of communication studies, we celebrate his work and influence on screen-based media. Inspired by his theories about the global village, as they relate to environments that are navigated, and tensions that exist between old and new technologies. 

Suitable for all ages
