Maja Petric creates transformative spatial experiences using data-gathering technology and light installation. In this episode Maja shares her thoughts on what it is to be an artist, her journey from site-specific performance art to techart, and offers insight into her celestial-based work using AI and machine-learning. -About Maja Petric- Maja Petric creates immersive art installations that engage human connection with nature and other living beings. She combines light with new technologies such as artificial intelligence, computer vision and spatialized sound to expand the multi-sensory apparatus through which art can be experienced. Her approach is research-based, scientific and technical. Fusing these disciplines with art lets her impact people’s experiences in a way that would not be possible otherwise. She received a Ph.D. from the University of Washington (DXARTS) and a M.P.S. from New York University (ITP) on the topic of transforming the poetic experience of space through the experimental use of technology. Training at these pioneering institutions allowed her to explore various artistic methods to manipulate people’s senses through which they experience space cognitively and emotionally.
