British artist and architect Usman Haque makes responsive environments, interactive installations, digital interface devices and mass-participation performances. In 2004, he launched Sky Ear in London, a non-rigid carbon-fibre "cloud" embedded with one thousand LED-infused helium balloons, EMF sensors, and several dozen mobile phones. Last year, he launched an even more ambitious interactive megablob called Open Burble at the Singapore Biennale (above). He has created interior immersive installations, visualizations, and various experiments addressing interactivity.

Usman will present his work this Thursday, Feb 8, 3:00 - 4:00pm in the ZML.

Are are welcome.
