Artist and educator John Craig Freeman will lecture about his recent project Imaging Place, as part of the Interactive Arts and Media Department’s Visiting Artists lecture series. Imaging Place is a place-based, virtual reality art project that takes the form of a user navigated, interactive computer program that combines panoramic photography, digital video, and three-dimensional technologies to investigate and document situations where the forces of globalization are impacting the lives of individuals in local communities. The goal of the project is to develop the technologies, the methodology and the content for truly immersive and navigable narrative, based in real places. Most recently, Freeman has been implementing the "Imaging Place" project in Second Life.
