Description

The Influence Machine: a conversation

I chaired a public conversation between acclaimed American artist Tony Oursler and James Lingwood, co-director of Artangel about The Influence Machine, an internationally acclaimed immersive outdoor sculptural experience by artist Tony Oursler, commissioned by Artangel. Described as a ‘holographic model of human desire and dread’, The Influence Machine captures the haunting atmosphere of magic lanterns, Victorian light shows, camera obscura and parlour tricks, while embracing the fully networked, digitally-assisted future of image and identity production. The work is being displayed 23rd – 26th November 2016 in George Square Gardens, University of Edinburgh.
