IKG curator and art critic Tak Pham will introduce his ongoing research on “immersive art.”

In this Nickle at Noon talk, IKG curator and art critic Tak Pham will introduce his ongoing research on “immersive art.” The term has gained popularity recently, often used casually at dinner parties, product launches, or to describe various entertainment experiences. This widespread use has inspired Pham’s research, which aims to delve into the etymology of the term, its development within Western art history, and what creative practices we can anticipate in the future.

Free, everyone welcome

Held in person in the Gallery Hall, ground floor of Taylor Family Digital Library (adjacent to Nickle Galleries).
