BIG::Culture is for Music and Art
We orchestrate and study our encounters with sonic and visual media, and look at ways the arts and creative engagement can lead to new technologies, embodied interactions, and deeper insights about ourselves. This involves creating new forms of musical and artistic expressions and experiences for end-users through the use of gesture, wearable, touch or tangible interfaces. You can read more about our work on our website.
