Daniel Sauter + Jesus Duran: Ketai in Motion

The variety of sensors built in 4th generation mobile devices offer new ways to interact with applications and services. Focusing on motion detection and image processing, Ketai in Motion is a research project that aims at capturing, processing, and interpreting multiple streams or sensory data. The presentation will feature the first release of the Ketai library for processing, and outline future development.

Daniel Sauter is an artist who creates interactive installations and site-specific interventions dealing with the cultural and social implications of emergent technologies. His work spans a variety of disciplines, Electronic art, Performance art, Robotic art, Sound art, Interactive Sculpture, and Software art. While technology plays an important role in his work, it is not foregrounded. He uses technology as artistic material, embedded in larger social and cultural contexts. Sauter is currently an Assistant Professor of New Media Arts and Program Coordinator at the University of Illinois at Chicago, School of Art and Design.

Jesus Duran is an artist and technologist currently pursuing a Master’s of Fine Art in the New Media Arts program at UIC. His primary interests lie in exploring the impact that technology has on relationships between individuals, media and the sense of self. These themes often manifest themselves as Software Art, Interactive Installations, various media and anonymous releases.
