Description
Eric Millikin, Assistant Professor, Visual Arts, was awarded the 2024 CIRCA-IMET Artist-in-Residence Fellowship, during which he worked on Mecha/Magical Marine Materials, an ongoing series of wearable electronic and robotic sculptures based on marine biology for performances with live-coded ambient sound and spiraling video projections. The work is based in part on the work of IMET Assistant Professor Allison Tracy as well as on Edgar Allan Poe’s tales of sea-faring science and the supernatural, including depictions of necromancers creating mechanical sea monsters.
