CALL FOR QUESTIONS! INTERVIEW EXTENDED TO MARCH 5th. LEAVE YOUR QUESTIONS BELOW
February 24th JÜRGEN SCHULZE, Research Scientist at Calit2
On February 24th BridgeThink’s Don Burton will visit UC San Diego to record an interview with Jürgen Schulze, research scientist at Cal Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2). With virtual environments, Jürgen is developing new ways to connect with the world around us. Selected works include collaboration on a 3D visualization of archeological sites in Jordan reproduced in Calit2’s StarCAVE and working with a team to create the multimedia art installation “Atlas in Silico” which displayed at SIGGRAPH 2007. Jürgen will be talking about how his work is being adapted to different fields including film and the arts. Jürgen holds an M.S. degree from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth and a Ph.D. from the University of Stuttgart, Germany. Want to know more? Go ahead and ask! Send in your questions by leaving a comment below or going to our Twitter or Facebook or by emailing to info@bridgethink.org and Don will put your questions to Jürgen on February 24th. The interview will then appear as a podcast in next month’s BridgeThink Newsletter. You can find out more about Jürgen in the video from Calit2 above.
The StarCAVE is amazing! Any plans to make it bigger, add more screens? Imagine a 360 degree space someday?
Any thoughts on using starCAVE (or any of the technology really) for a purely artistic project? …Something non-outcome based. I feel that by connecting hard technology to something conceptual/philosophical/artistic (ie: not what is was designed for), truly revolutionary forms can be created.
