Capturing Our World: Past, Present and Future
Join us for an exclusive evening with Meriko Borogove, the FRAMERATE Executive Producer behind Desert Pulse and renowned photographer Mark Klett. We will explore both traditional photography and LiDAR scanning as means of capturing change over time, with a specific focus on environmental change. The future role of LiDAR scanning will be examined within the context of photography and personal documentation (e.g. smart phones). Panelists will also offer insights into the application of artwork and emerging media that respond to environmental and social themes.
