Screen/Surface/Space is a seminar series which aims to discuss, explore and speculate on emerging digital screen-based contexts for interior and environmental design, and their significance for practice, theory and pedagogy. Developments in digital image-production, including generative AI, virtual reality and gaming, as well as contemporary imaging practices, such as surveillance and image-based social media, organise a distinct consumption and mediation of the interior via the screen. Under such circumstances, there is a demand for new cross-disciplinary practices and frameworks of knowledge-making through which to interrogate the interior, its image, and its imaging. These timely and urgent investigations will explore how virtual and physical spaces, and their design and fabrication, directly engage and inform each other, to present arrangements at the interstice of 2d and 3d, image and actual.
The seminar series will cover several distinct contexts, drawing together a diversity of speakers and audiences from interior design and beyond, including broadcasting, film studies, data informatics, games design, immersive technologies, who have an interest in the design of real and virtual environments.
This seminar series has been organised by the Image|Imaging|Interior research cluster
