Join us on Wednesday, February 17 for a memorable Dartmouth evening at The Dalí Museum, featuring a private viewing of Dalí Alive 360 along with a talk by Tim Tregubov ’11 GR’15, Senior Lecturer in Computer Science and Director of The DALI Lab. The Dalí Museum features an unparalleled collection of works by renowned artist Salvador Dalí, from iconic melting clocks to imaginative visual illusions and avant-garde symbols.

Dalí Alive 360 is an immersive experience celebrating the life and creative genius of one of the most influential and inventive artists of the modern era. This multisensory art experience envelops visitors in 360 degrees of light and sound within The Dalí Dome. This exhibit illuminates the challenges and triumphs of his artistic career and provides visitors the sensation of stepping into Dalí’s life. The experience immerses the visitor in Dalí’s surreal landscapes, iconic melting clocks and mind-bending illusions with touchpoints from the artist’s time in Spain, Paris and America. Each of these eras in the artist’s life prompted a response from Dalí, leading to his constant reinvention.

The evening will begin with a reception to meet and mingle with Dartmouth alumni, family and friends. Tim will give a talk on how AI and attention-driven technology have reversed the gaze between humans and images, and the shift from passive consumption to active creation. Following this talk, guests will have the opportunity to experience Dalí Alive 360 and explore the rest of the museum exhibits.

Tim Tregubov ’11 GR’15

Senior Lecturer in Computer Science; Director, The DALI Lab

Tim Tregubov is the Director and Co-founder of the Digital Applied Learning and Innovation (DALI) Lab and a Senior Lecturer in Computer Science, where he teaches practical classes with a focus on creative computing. Tim studied Cognitive Science during his undergrad, focusing on educational game technologies. During his Master's in Computer Science with a concentration in Digital Arts, he researched the influence of attention in visual storytelling, using eye-tracking to understand how people view/read content, and he developed a system to create attention-influenced narratives. 

Tim now focuses on helping students have the life-changing experience of building a product from an initial idea, through a process of design-driven engineering, to the positive impact of their work. That work has brought DALI Lab students to The Dalí Museum itself, where they built an installation to explore how visitors look at Dalí's paintings. Along the way, Tim co-founded Linklings, a conference management platform, and Telemotion, an energy visualization company. On the side, Tim runs a web consulting business, Zingweb.com, and a software shop, BrunchLabs.com. Tim’s most recent adventure is Lovers Lane Farm, a community space and peony farm. 

The DALI Lab is his dream come true, a way to share the transformative experience of bringing a project from thought to impact while working and learning with a close-knit and talented team.
