February 18, 2013
Chapman University and the
Department of Art
present Chris Csikszentmihalyi on Wednesday, February 20 at 7 p.m. in Argyros Forum room 209 C.
For 16 years, Chris Czikensentmihalyi has been combining his knowledge in the arts, media, and new technologies. Two
of his greatest projects include the Afghan Explorer, a robot designed to bypass the Pentagon and Taliban press censorship,
as well as txtMob, a mobile phone based activist system that enabled highly effective protests at the 2004 RNC and DNC.
Because of his technical advancements, Csikszentmihalyi’s projects have been nominated for the Best Artistic Software
award at Berlin’s Transmediale festival. Csikszentmihalyi is currently a professor of Media Design Matters at the Art Center College of Design, as well as a Distinguished Visiting Professor of Art and Design Research at Parsons the New School for Design.
