4:00 - 4:45 PM

AT STARCO

Nour Tabet will explore the paradox of technology (looking toward to the future) with nostalgia (remembering the past). Memory is a search engine that creates empathy and nostalgia when triggered. With today's technological advancements we have the ability to induce this empathy at any moment, we have reached the end of forgetting and the era of nostalgia on demand. We can take out our phone to go back our timeline on Facebook of the photo we posted 7 years ago. We get notifications from google web photos reminding us of that trip we took to the beach on the same day last year. 

Nour Tabet is a postgeographic designer part of the vast Lebanese diaspora and her work often reflects membership in this global community. She earned her MFA in Graphic Design at the Maryland Institute College of Art and her BFA from the American University of Beirut. Nour is currently making digital things (products, conversations) as a Sr. Art Director at HUGE in Washington DC. Her work has been recognized by the Webby’s, Adobe and published in books by the Princeton Architectural Press.
