Ivy Fu is a fifth-year double-degree student majoring in TIMARA and Art History major. Throughout her years at Oberlin, she has created, conducted, and installed myriad multimedia projects, including Trace, an augmented-reality installation and Junior TIMARA recital that synchronized a scripted story and geolocation-specific augmented reality in a sonic landscape that the Allen Memorial Art Museum’s visitors were able to experience through the iPhone app TraceAllen. Fu was recently awarded the Graham Grindlay grant which will support her visiting and interviewing the immersive multimedia art production company Meow Wolf as research for her augmented reality exhibition The Sentient Bedroom. She will be traveling to Meow Wolf’s site in Las Vegas to develop her work with the company’s team.
