Meet visiting international artists who will share stories and project prototypes from their experience participating in one of five 2018 American Arts Incubator exchanges in Ecuador, India, Morocco, Poland, and Ukraine.
Each of these artists is creatively applying art and technology to a locally relevant social challenge in their community. Projects include an audio-augmented bag that amplifies stories from transgender communities in India, a bathymetric projection of data about a displaced coastal community in Morocco, an AR mural depicting a shared kichwa and mestizo experience in Ecuador, an ASMR-inducing sensorium that probes the contours of Ukrainian national identity, and a chimney that absorbs polluted air in Poland.
