Summer Camp Kemper: Interactive Art
Camp Kemper is a three-day art camp for kids ages 6–12. Rafael Lozano-Hemmer creates interactive art, or art that involves participation from the viewers. His installation Pulse Topology is activated by pulse sensors that read the heartbeats of visitors. After experiencing Lozano-Hemmer’s light installation, campers will create their own interactive art projects. Camp sessions will take place at Kemper Museum. Participants must wear masks while indoors and practice social distancing.
This session has reached capacity.
