Creative Perspectives on Future XR Embodied Collaboration in SHARESPACE

Five artists have been collaborating with SHARESPACE to engage in artistic explorations of the project’s technology and concepts in the past two years. Their work resulted in the creation of three artworks shown at the Deep Space 8K. In this panel discussion, “Artistic Exploration in Shared Hybrid Spaces,” each of these artists delves into their creative processes and concepts. Their discussion explores the future of embodied collaboration and social interaction in hybrid XR spaces inspired by SHARESPACE research.

    Tara Habibzadeh

    IR

    Tara Habibzadeh’s practice thinks in refined yet impulsive evidence of ambiguous audiovisual dialectics beyond self. Born and raised in Tehran with an academic background in film, mathematics, law and philosophy, Habibzadeh’s works think in analogies and metaphors for complex systems and layers in the simplest dialectic visuals and language using the mundane trivial while challenging the Euro-centric colonial and orientalist binaries with scientific and universal methods. Their varied works include video, painting, installation and words. They live and work in Tehran and Berlin.
