'A 'Gene Ontology' of Immersive Media for Museums'Link opens in a new window

In this short talk, Professor Geoffrey Rhodes (Institute of Cultural and Creative Industry, Shanghai Jiao Tong University) will review his own broad experience in art with new technologies, from experimental digital video, to early AR and VR, app publications, and work with immersive displays for museum collections. Rhodes has worked as a creative producer, as well as researcher and educator, with long term partnerships with the Art Institute of Chicago, the Chicago History Museum, and now Shanghai Jiao Tong University. In Shanghai, he leads the Future Museum Media Innovation Studio which has hosted multiple symposia on the subject of museums' digital futures, and new methods for the display of collections. As part of a special SJTU-Warwick seed fund, Rhodes is currently working with Associate Professor Jianhua Yang at Warwick University to experiment with new models for performing audience analysis for new immersive media exhibitions.
