IMGD MFA Capstone: "An Apothecary Dreams" Interactive Art Installation
10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
WPI’s Interactive Media and Game Design program presents MFA candidate Katherine Crighton's capstone project:
An Apothecary Dreams
An interactive time capsule inventing science past, present, and beyond
An Apothecary Dreams is a gentle, phantasmagorical art/experience installation built within WPI’s historic Higgins House. Guests who enter into it will have the opportunity to touch, taste, smell, hear, and see the “time capsules” Katherine has found and opened as they’ve researched and reconstructed household apothecary recipes from 500 years ago. When you’re ready to return to the modern world, you’ll be invited to add your own page to a time capsule Katherine is building for the same kind of distant world that our forebears could not have imagined, but hoped for nonetheless: one 500 years in the future.
