Soyun Park & Leo Scarin prensenting Volumetric Interviews: Community-based Art & Technology Captured in "Depth"

Soyun Park is a multidisciplinary artist and director at RGBdog living in The Hague. She is interested in the question of how technology influences human functioning, from the individual level (physical movement and relationships) to the social level (architecture and politics).

Leo Scarin is an interactive media artist and designer based in The Hague. In his practice, he investigates the bridge between new technologies and the human body, by designing spaces for intimate, conscious digital interactions.

RGBdog is a community-based studio creating cultural projects with fellow creatives, technologists and organisations. RGBdog introduces resourceful, open-source, approachable and fun(!) technology with a strong mission to share.

Soyun Park, founder and director of RGBdog, and creative technologist Leo Scarin together participate in Volumetric Interviews: a series of volumetric conversations with artists, designers, studios and creatives whose work is linked to an innovative vision of 'community' driven by art and technology. The episodes constantly switch between RGB and RGB+Depth recordings, making the production of the series itself a visual investigation of new technologies.

The speakers will talk about their artistic vision and experience in the making of the project. A Touchdesigner 'Volumetric Interviews' rec-and-render toolkit will also be shared with the participants.
