Dynamic Systems of Engagement by Scott Murray

Practice, my MFA the­sis project, will be set up for you to explore this Friday in the Mission District of San Francisco.

Practice is both a work of inter­ac­tive video art and a design research project.

Unlike most other works of this medium, it does not reward bod­ily motion and exag­ger­ated ges­tures, but encour­ages patience and self-reflection. In so doing, it explores the ten­sion between emo­tional engage­ment and the uncom­fort­able ambi­gu­ity of not know­ing what will hap­pen next.

Friday, February 12

About 9:00 – 11:00pm

16th St. and Guerrero St., NE cor­ner (Map)
