Date: May 18, 2023 Time: 5 p.m. - 8 p.m. Location: UC San Diego Atkinson Hall Host: Shahrokh Yadegari Agenda: 5 p.m. Performance in Atkinson Hall's auditorium 6 p.m. Atkinson Hall pre-function area/courtyard for reception RSVP to ideasqi@ucsd.edu by noon, May 18. The Qualcomm Institute’s (QI) IDEAS series presents “Pigments of Imagination,” an interactive virtual reality experience that frames the creative process as a narrative relating the inner-workings of one’s unique imagination to the universe around us. It is an observation on the beauty, fear, adventure, sadness and loneliness of self-discovery and the artist’s ultimate recognition of process as goal, as told through the story of a small child’s journey to the moon. The installation is designed to reimagine the popular music video in a virtual space as a dynamic, emotionally engaging experience by exploring distinctive relationships between spatialization, audiovisual reactivity and interactivity, which allow for a narrative immersion that maintains a structured arc and conclusion but unique experience with each use. This piece features musical contributions from UC San Diego Music’s King Britt, Steph Richards and Zach Konick, and vocalist Nick Tolford. Singular virtual reality experiences will be offered in addition to the general presentation. Bios: Timothy Gmeiner is a San Diego, California-based interdisciplinary artist and music producer.
