In this second Future Arts session the
HKU University of the Arts Utrecht took us on a journey through their state of the art Creative Technology workshops, called the Blackbox. HKU
has four Blackbox workshops in different campus locations, each equipped with tools, techniques and knowledge related to art, creativity and performance. Technologies include: Projection Mapping, Chromascreen, Motion Capture, a variety of
smaller Sensors, Virtual Reality and Theatre Lighting. In this workshop the magic happens and artists get to shape their own mixed reality.
In this interactive session, Blackbox manager – Astrid van der Velde – alongside HKU instructors and students showcased HKU’s technologies, educational approaches and critical art emerging out of this environment.
