Tehran Annual Digital Arts Exhibition 2015 | Teun Verkerk en Joris Hoogeboom

Teun Verkerk and Joris Hoogeboom were invited to present their joint 'Buqs' project at the Tehran Annual Digital Arts Exhibition (TADAEX), an event which focuses on the presentation of media and digital art forms that intersect with science. TADAEX was held in Tehran from 1 to 5 October. The theme of this edition was 'City Language'. Ehsan Rasoulof, the director of TADAEX, noted that Verkerk's and Hoogeboom's work fits in closely with the theme. Buqs was therefore included in the main exhibition, which was staged in the Azadi Tower. The applicants also executed an intervention in the public space and gave a presentation about the project at the Iranian Technical University. Buqs is a research-by-design project by Verkerk and Hoogeboom that focuses on the creation of physical objects and environments which are mediated by digital, interactive and electronic technologies.
