Event description:
Join us for the 22nd talk of Yale Quantum Institute series of nontechnical talks aiming to bring a new regard to quantum physics and STEM by having experts cast new light on often-overlooked aspects of scientific work.
On Fundamental AR (Attention Research)
Visualizing the Invisible through Augmented Reality & Poetic Imagination
In this talk, Nancy Baker Cahill and Jesse Damiani will offer brief introductions to their creative practices, and outline their approaches to natural phenomena in their artistic research as the collaborative Fundamental Attention Research Lab (FARlab). What role might new media art play in driving new forms of fundamental research and understandings of the cosmos? Of special interest will be augmented reality, a medium that can uniquely improve quantum literacies through its ability to trouble assumptions about the real.
