Umweltforshöw: the 2006 graduate thesis exhibition of the Arts, Computation and Engineering (ACE) graduate program at UCI. Umweltforshöw celebrates the spirit of Jakob von Uexküll's concept of the umwelt, his (1934) term for an organism's subjective lived environment. Digital technologies increasingly shape and alter our umwelt. This selection of work reflects upon the opportunities and issues which arise as we shape that umwelt, and it shapes us. This is the second annual graduation exhibition of the ACE program, an interdisciplinary graduate program in digital cultural practices.
This exhibition features interactive artworks and technologies created by Delvin Hanson, Cina Hazegh, Eric Kabisch and Kevin Ponto.
