ATC Video Now Online: Kris Paulsen

BCNM alumnus Kris Paulsen's "Indexical Ambivalence" talk is now available for public viewing on YouTube.

Paulsen discussed her research on telepresence in art, addressing questions about communication and touch being mediated by an interface due to the rise of digital technologies. She touched on Ken Goldberg's "Data Dentata" and Charles Sanders' Pierce's concept of the "index" to illustrate her points, weaving together central themes of doubt and interpretation that is fundamental to machine interaction.
