Intermedia Artist Timeline

Jesse Allison | Director/Programmer

This reactive kiosk tracks hand motions to navigate through a timeline and history of intermedia artists.

This device was designed to take you on a journey through the history of intermedia art. The kiosk, made by the IDIA in collaboration with the Institute for Digital Fabrication at Ball State University, allows the user to interact using hand gestures to move through the timeline. The work includes a short bio, image and description of works from 30 intermedia artists of the 1960s to the present. It was displayed in conjunction with the BSU Museum of Art's Engaging Technology Exhibit. Jesse Allison programmed the piece with help from Mike Sayre. Dustin Headley and the IDF designed and constructed the kiosk.
