Light as Sensorium - Recalibrating perception by Alina Ling

In this lecture, Alina shared her practice of creating multi-sensory spaces and the process behind conceptualising interactive installations. Extending interactive design paradigms in technologically mediated environments, the session covered how she manipulates physical and intangible mediums in recalibrating the perceptual experience and constructing live atmospheres. 

This lecture was part of the programme series 𝙼𝙸𝚂𝙱𝙴𝙷𝙰𝚅𝙸𝙽𝙶 𝙼𝙰𝙲𝙷𝙸𝙽𝙴𝚂—curated by Hothouse, supported by the National Arts Council’s Arts x Tech Lab initiative.

About Misbehaving Machines

Misbehaving Machines invites the public into a shared study of how machines behave – thorugh movement, sound and code – unfolding across lectures, listening sessions and workshops that explore how systems operate, interact and respond. Rooted in curiosity, experimentation and collective learning, the series examines the evolving human-machine relationship through art and technology.
