Join Daniel Pillis, an M.S. candidate in the Media Arts and Sciences at the MIT Media Lab for a conversation around List Projects 30: Jeremy Couillard.
In this talk, Daniel Pillis will discuss his own work on creating novel interfaces that enhance memory visualization, drawing on their research in performance capture, mixed reality, and interactive computer graphics. Pillis will use his research to expand on Jeremy Couillard’s practice that explores interactive video game technologies, connecting it to new fields in virtual production, brain-computer interfaces, and AI-driven simulations of our past experiences.
This will be a hybrid event with a live video that can be streamed here at 5:30 PM.
About the Speaker
Daniel Pillis is an interdisciplinary researcher and artist specializing in performance capture, mixed reality, and interactive computer graphics. A collaborator with the Tangible Media and Space Enabled groups at the Media Lab, Pillis is focused on creating new interfaces for rendering memory. Pillis’s work is driven by a fascination with the intersection of technology and human experience, exploring how we can use new techniques in computational representation to visualize and interact with our personal memories. By developing innovative methods for virtual production and AI-driven simulations, Pillis aims to push the boundaries of how we understand and engage with our past experiences.
Graduate Student Talks
MIT graduate students explore current exhibitions at the List Center through the lens of their own research, background, and interests. Join us for this interdisciplinary lecture series where we dive into how art and research are overlapping on MIT’s campus.
