Drawing from her background in engineering, renowned digital artist Tamiko Thiel explores how new technologies can express timeless concerns. Thiel interfaces with society, politics, culture, and nature through the lens of augmented reality, which she uses to create visceral yet intangible site-specific experiences. Through large-scale virtual interventions in real space, Thiel’s artworks connect viewers’ bodies and personal devices to place.

In this talk, Thiel considers the ways augmented reality can be used to evoke the past, visualize the future, and highlight underrepresented communities, histories, and cultures.
