Please note: This event ended on 5 July 2024
In this week's Lunchtime Talk, Narrative Designer and XR Storyteller Ruth Mariner and Artist and Creative Technologist Pod Bluman, share their process of developing I Am Your Mirror, an interactive multimedia installation.
The installation uses creative technology and movement to create social connection, which activates our mirror neurons — the part of the brain that enables us to understand the emotional states of ourselves and others - helping us feel seen, heard and connected.
Mariner and Bluman brought together a team of creatives and thinkers with expertise in dance, neuroscience, interaction and experience design, to respond to the question 'How can we activate our mirror neurons through movement and play?'
Join us online on YouTube Live, or in the building on Friday 5 July 2024 at 13:00 for the talk and to take part in the Q&A discussion afterwards.
