  • Social Justice Histories: Intersection of Art, Technology and History

    Social Justice Histories: Intersection of Art, Technology and History

    Center Stage presents Dr. Khoi Nguyen: Bringing Social Justice and Histories to Life with Augmented and Virtual Realities at 4 p.m., Thursday, August 19, in Ray A. Morris STEM Center Auditorium. A hands-on workshop will be held at 11 a.m., before the event in the same location.

    Khoi Nguyen’s path in life lay witness to inequality, the need for social justice and gratitude for the labors of those who fought before him. Thousands of fingerprints in the images of Harvey Milk and Barack Obama form a collective identity of marginalized sectors of societies. Using A.I., Augmented and Virtual Reality, the audience can explore the stories behind these fingerprints and get a sense of the enormous gravity it took to move the scales of equality.
