Arts Council of Southeast Missouri

"Digital Materiality and Empathetic Response"

May 17, 2018 at 7:00 p.m.

Zack Tucker is a graduate student at the University of Illinois - Urbana Champaign. According to Zack, today, it is easy to form connections with others through a complex web of systems and networks. Users send and receive signals from others with the goal of forming or maintaining some sort of emotional bond. While these signals may seem natural, they are often representative of a persona rather than the person themselves. Everyone has a relationship with a persona and everyone has a persona that they share with the world, but what happens when users invest this same emotional energy in a persona that they do not know in real life? This talk will explore the complicated role of the costumer creator through the lens of the critical design interventions in everyday life.
