Multimedia artist Ed Keller will give a talk at the Lewis Center for the Arts’ Princeton Atelier titled Bioville: The City as Superorganism. The talk is part of the course Pay Attention: The Art of Here and Now being taught by theater director Marianne Weems.
The talk will be held on September 25 from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. at the James M. Stewart Theater at 185 Nassau Street and will be free and open to the public.
Keller is a designer, professor, writer, musician and multimedia artist. He serves as Director of the Center for Transformative Media at The New School and as associate professor at Parsons The New School for Design.
With Carla Leitao, Keller co-founded AUM Studio, an architecture and new media firm that has produced residential projects, competitions and new media installations in Europe and the United States.
Weems’ course questions whether our sense of the present—to which we are meant to be attentive—has changed, and the impact of Twitter, Instagram and the “selfie” on making art.
