Visiting Artists Lecture Series: Miles Thorogood

The Visual Arts Visiting Artist Series program brings in a diverse variety of artists for campus talks and public gallery presentations that include visual artists, filmmakers, sculptors, painters, playwrights, essayists, interactive and digital media artists. Each artist presents a talk to students in the BFA program and the public, as well as offering critiques to students in the 4th year of the Visual Arts Program.

The Visiting Artist Series will be held in-person on Mondays at 10 am in the University Theatre (ADM 026) as part of the CCS 150 Creative and Critical Art Theory class. These talks are open to the public.

Join us on Monday, February 5th for a talk with Miles Thorogood, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Creative Studies, UBCO, and a sound artist and audio engineer. He is the Principal Researcher at the SPIRAL Lab conducting research in the practice and theory of performance and sound arts.

His research centeres around the practice and theory in media arts for developing interactive and immersive experiences. His work has been featured in regional and international museums, galleries and, and performances festivals. The interactive installation and performance works frame the research in creative practice that brings meaningful contexts of experience and environment to the foreground using algorithmic processes combining art making, audio and visual media, databases, artificial intelligence, and network computing.
