Interactive Institute/Smart Studio Touching the Invisible

Exhibition coordinator: Magnus Jonsson
Exhibition design: Smart Studio
Design assistant: Anna Holmquist

Färgfabriken and Smart Studio like each other. And have collaborated on previous occasions. March 18th is the opening date of an exhibition showing the results from projects pursued at Smart Studio, the Interactive Institute. Finally a truly innovative fusion between design, art and technology.

Touching the Invisible is an exhibition that revolves around the encounter between physical objects and the flow of invisible information. In six works, different aspects of how information can be channeled through electronic and digital technology are investigated. The works are made of physical materials, but are brought to life by the information flowing through them; information that is being gathered in diverse ways, from direct measurements of the visitor’s body to analysises of images found on the Internet.

Smart Studio is an interdisciplinary research group within the Interactive Institute. Smart Studio creates new fusions between art, science and technology.
