Hypo//Hyper Presence is a workshop series over the period of two semesters with guest lecturers that’s designed to give people skills to explore and create around the idea of telepresence. These technologies have been accelerated with COVID and increased hybrid interactions. Telepresence technologies can be perceived as “hyper” or “hypo” present, either always there to mediate communication or minimally present to facilitate asynchronous interaction. Now that the dust has settled around which technologies will prevail, this workshop series allows participants to explore these technologies tangibly. 

Each session is divided into two parts, an introduction and an advanced learning session. People can sign up for one or both sessions depending on their level /interest. All sessions will be remote, except when specified.
