Jussi Ängeslevä splits this time between teaching at the University of Arts in Digital Media Berlin, and designing at ART+COM media agency. He will talk about the process of creating Duality at ART+COM, a public space art installation in Tokyo. It’s a story of shuffling between crazy ideas in the drawing board to hardware / software development between Japan and Germany. Some parts went smoother than others, but the experience of the whole journey is definitely worth the story.
