The Art of Making Big Art

Description:

The world of big interactive public art has transformed dramatically in recent years, with advances in technology pushing the boundaries of what is possible and an awakening appetite for architectural placemaking. A new industry is emerging to design and build these impressive pieces of art that can be found anywhere from Burning Man to public spaces in cities around the world. Two speakers, Robb Pope and Nick Moser will speak about the Art of making Big Art from multiple perspectives from their extensive experience in the industry. Nick comes from a background of complex fabrication, and Robb from a background in creating innovative digital installations. They will explore not only the physical and technical aspects of big art, but also the human perspectives on the process.
