- to This is a past program
5D: A Bigger Bang is a series of the biennial 5D: The Future of Immersive Design conference. It explores the profound impact of the convergence of Art and Science across all narrative media—film, game, animation, and architecture. This on-going speaker series explores the profound new relationship between artists and scientists, designers and engineers, and the pervasive effect of this new collaboration not only on design and science process, but as a fundamental change in the relationship between artifact and audience.
This month's lecture features the groundbreaking work of artist and scientist John Underkoffler.
