As a storyteller, Toni Dove builds human-operated machines that tell stories using multi-media in installation or performance. The impact of technological change on consumer culture and how that impacts how we see ourselves has been the subject of her work over many years.
Using slides and video clips, Dove will discuss a body of work that has explored interactive and responsive narrative with proprietary Max programs as the central engine. She has explored a variety of narrative strategies utilizing embodied interface to somatically connect the human body to narrative time.
