The 8th Art Tech Psyche fair, held in Cabot Library on September 26th, was a reminder that art is technology and technology is art. With immersive digital experiences, art installations, tech demos, and lectures, the art and science fair celebrated the intersection of art and technology.
Artificial intelligence was omnipresent at the fair, but so too was human intelligence and human curiosity — from immersive AI installations and interactive games to display tables full of tech and tools where visitors played and experimented.
Joshua Widdicombe, a technologist at Harvard, stayed up all night to finish building his AI installation Mindflow, which allowed visitors to create hallucinatory art by drawing upon a horizontal and touch-intuitive TV table in front of them. Many of the exhibits were cross disciplinary. For example, Sutanuka Jashu, a visiting scholar at Camlabs, spent some time in Lithuania and embedded Lithuanian folklore into her interdisciplinary art installation, Echoes and Rebellion.
Below, are some highlights from Art Tech Psyche.
