​ABOUT THE LECTURE

​Over more than two decades, Amsterdam-based artist and creative technologist Geoffrey Lillemon has worked at the intersection of CGI, visual effects, media art, and emerging technology, with work shown at the Centre Pompidou, Tate Modern, and the Museo Tamayo. In this lecture, Geoffrey opens up the questions driving his current practice: why cinema, as a technology of storytelling, may already feel archaic; what real-time and interactive systems make possible that the cinematic frame does not; and how the moving image might evolve in an era of waning attention.
