Do you integrate with just visual art, or do you try to use all of the arts (music, theater, dance,
visual art, graphic design, etc) in your work? How do you incorporate them in a unique or
different way?
We integrate all the arts into our work. Advances in technology are unlocking many
new ways to play and entertain. We believe there are opportunities to reimagine
theater, dance, opera, film and more using technology like sensors, computer vision,
and virtual reality.
What role do you see the arts playing in education and our economy in the 21st century? What do
arts and classroom teachers need to do differently?
Arts and entertainment are great hooks to inspire kids about learning. We believe the
more that teachers can incorporate hands on projects that appeal to students the
more they will be engaged. Regardless of the subject, there is an opportunity to
incorporate STEAM principles. Learning is better in context, so, as an example, a
history class studying 13th century England could include a survey of the engineering
advances that enabled the new church designs of that period.
