Chris Sugrue was a speaker at Eyeo 2015 and is an artist that has been working in the field of art and technology for the past ten years and is now teaching in Parsons, Paris. Her lecture was entitled ‘How do these pixels feel?” and it was a true journey through light, code, and play. Her talk discussed how we could tell a story using these tree elements. As a lighting designer and media minor this video really caught my attention. She created this astonishing piece combining code and light called Delicate Boundaries where little bugs would move around the screen and gravitate towards your touch on the screen. After they clump towards you the bugs would vacate the screen and continue onto your hand and crawl up your arms. Not only did she learn to manipulate the movement of this code off of the screen, she didn’t stop there, she continued to find ways to influence this code using projectors and plexi and movement in beautiful ways that did in fact tell stories. She presented her work through video examples and was very firm and humble. I would love to get a chance to work along side her.
