Abstract: Frederick "Derick" Ostrenko is a new media artist and educator within Louisiana State University's Digital Art concentration. He is a graduate from Rhode Island School of Design where he earned an MFA in Digital + Media. He will present on his interactive environments that focus on revealing hidden networks between people by creating structures for new kinds of expression and discovery. His installations have used brainwaves, text messages, live video processing, and electric shock as interfaces for people to explore their identity and connect with other participants. Derick will also talk about his recent work inspired by a hero's journey towards transcendence, and how such a narrative relates to a participant's experience within a digitally augmented environment. Everyone is encouraged to attend.
