Tedlock will present a talk: Ethereal Materials: Sculpting with Time, Music, and Data
In the program notes for his interactive installation, The Air We Breathe, Evan wrote:
"We all breathe the same air. It is a constant, compulsory process, a collective interaction with the world around us. As our climate shifts, so too does this taking-in of the world. The Air We Breathe is a generative interactive projection that uses multiple scientific data sets, atmospheric carbon dioxide saturation (ppm), long-term global cumulative carbon dioxide emissions (tonnes), and global temperature anomalies to generate animation content. Viewers can interact with this data by blowing into pods, mixing the carbon dioxide of the present with that of history."
In his multimedia work, Tedlock uses animation and digital interactivity as a tool to explore the invisible narratives of big and small data. He received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Kansas City Art Institute and a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Southern California where he was an Annenberg Graduate Fellow and co-founder of the Bridge Art and Science Alliance. His work has exhibited both nationally and internationally including at the V2 Lab for the Unstable Media in Rotterdam, The Directors Guild of America in Los Angeles, and at the Consciousness Reframed Conference in Portugal.
Evan Tedlock is an assistant professor of Visual Art at the University of Maryland Baltimore County, where his research is focused in the area of data-driven immersive interactive experiences, primarily exploring environmental issues and identity.
