Kiasma seminar room, Friday 3 November, 6-8 pm
Jussi Ängeslevä - http://angesleva.iki.fi
Presentation topic: digital fits.
Integrating physical spaces with digital systems. Examples of integrated designs where physical space and digital content are in balance. Lack of consideration of the media extensions often creates seizure inducing
discrepancies. Through my works at the University of Arts in Berlin, ART+COM AG, and as an independent designer I’ll discuss the process of designing new media in public spaces.
Jussi Ängeslevä biography:
Holding MA in Audio Visual Media Culture from the University of Lapland in Finland, and MA in Interaction Design from the Royal College of Art, Jussi worked 2 years at the Media Lab Europe in Dublin as a researcher. Currently he is an assistant professor at the University of Arts in Berlin and working as a senior concept designer at ART+COM, Berlin. His field of specialisation is in physical and embodied interfaces.
His work has been presented internationally in events and venues such as Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography, Siggraph, National Institute of Health in Maryland, ZKM, Science Museum London and 51st Venice Biennale. In the recent years he has received awards from RSA, NESTA, and most recently two Silver Awards from D&AD, High Commendation from Prix Ars Electronica, Gold Award from the ADCE and BAFTA nomination for Interactive Art.
