Altered States: An Experiment in Interactive Art Augmentation

Enter a space where physical and digital media collide. In this open house, the New Media Workspace will be open to participants to experiment with projection, lighting, augmented reality, and sound to transform a physical artwork. Create immersive environments, disrupt the visual surface, and explore how technology can reshape perception. Participants will co-create an interactive installation that pushes beyond the physical artwork.

Featuring artwork by Emma Poley.

Meet Emma Poley

Emma Poley is a Peterborough/Nogojiwanong-born printmaker, writer, and artist now based in Kingston, Ontario. Her work is deeply dissective, centring the anatomical—exploring how our bodies exist as animals, how memory lives in bone, and what it means to hold an archive within ourselves. She’s drawn to bones, teeth, horses, and the practice of learning to be gentle with large monsters—a lesson that began at horse camp in rural Ontario. Emma is currently completing her fifth year toward her BFAH at Queen’s University.
