Liminal Interfaces
January 27, 2023
SEC Undergraduate LoungeLiminal Interfaces, a public, student-directed exhibition hosted at the Paulson School Of Engineering and Applied Sciences, explored the ways in which art tech can transform liminal spaces—the transitory, ambiguous, and often painful spaces between locations or states of being—into personal and meaningful places. Featuring custom exhibition art tech pieces and six student art tech installations experimenting with various liminal spaces, this highly interactive exhibition guided the public through a series of immersive experiences encouraging visitors to generate, reflect on, and transform the liminal spaces in their own lives.
