Michael Takeo Magruder is an American artist based in the UK and a
long-standing member of King's Visualisation Lab, located in the Centre for
Computing in Humanities, King's College London. His artworks have been
showcased in over 180 exhibitions and 30 countries, and seek to blend
Information Age technologies with modernist-like aesthetics to explore the
formal structures and conceptual paradigms of the networked, digital world.

For this event, the artist will discuss his current work in Second Life and
its real-time hybridisation with physical and networked spaces. He will
present two of his recent interdisciplinary projects in this area:
"Rhythmic Space(s)" [a set of virtual/physical performances in the Great
Hall of Hellerau for the CyNetArt07 festival http://body-bytes.de/02/?p=535&language=en
and "The Vitruvian World" [a
commission by Turbulence.org for their "Mixed Realities" exhibition-http://www.turbulence.org/Works/vitruvianworld/
